Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

Lipid areas (A ℓ), bilayer area compressibilities (KA), bilayer bending constants (KC), and
monolayer spontaneous curvatures (c 0) from simulations using the CHARMM36 force field …

β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) represent the major proteinaceous component of
the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins perform key roles in …

Gut microbiota establishment and further microbiota shifts are very important for maintaining
host health throughout life. There are some factors, including genetics, the mother's health …

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of eukaryotic cells. Energy production occurs in
specific dynamic membrane invaginations in the inner mitochondrial membrane called …

Cardiolipin (CL) is an atypical, dimeric phospholipid essential for mitochondrial dynamics in
eukaryotic cells. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a cytosolic member of the dynamin …

Lipids and proteins are the main components of cell membranes. It is becoming increasingly
clear that lipids, in addition to providing an environment for proteins to work in, are in many …

Accurate details on the sampled atomistic resolution structures of lipid bilayers can be
experimentally obtained by measuring C–H bond order parameters, spin relaxation rates …

Adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) is a well-known mitochondrial exchanger of ATP
against ADP. In contrast, few studies have shown that ANT also mediates proton transport …

Although colistin's clinical use is limited due to its nephrotoxicity, colistin is considered to be
an antibiotic of last resort because it is used to treat patients infected with multidrug-resistant …
