Background: Open Access Editor's Choice Review Lipid Membrane Mimetics in Functional
and Structural Studies of Integral Membrane Proteins by Saman Majeed 1, Akram Bani …

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy combined with site-directed spin
labelling is applicable to biomolecules and their complexes irrespective of system size and …

We compared the conformations of the transmembrane domain (TMD) of influenza A M2
(IM2) protein reconstituted in 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1, 2-dioleoyl-sn …

Cellular membranes and associated proteins play critical physiological roles in organisms
from all life kingdoms. In many cases, malfunction of biological membranes triggered by …

Paramagnetic (open-shell) systems, including transition metal ions, radical intermediates
and defect centres, are often involved in catalytic transformations. Despite the prevalence of …

The influenza A matrix 2 (AM2) protein is a prototype viroporin that conducts protons through
an array of water molecules and sidechains of ionizable amino acid residues, with His37 …

We investigated several small viral proteins that reside and function in cellular membranes.
These proteins belong to the viroporin family because they assemble into ion-conducting …

The influenza M2 proton channel is a major drug target, but unfortunately, the acquisition of
resistance mutations greatly reduces the functional life span of a drug in influenza treatment …

Pulsed EPR methods, such as PELDOR (or DEER) and ESEEM have emerged as powerful
tools for assessing membrane protein conformation, folding, oligomerisation and dynamics …

Nitroxide spin labeling was introduced by McConnell and co-workers in the mid-1960s with
the goals of using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to investigate …
