1. 11. QCM-D with focus on variations in oscillation amplitude

   Författare :Malin Edvardsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :shear oscillation; actuator; Quartz crystal microbalance; amplitude; streptavidin; lipid vesicles; biosensor; colloidal particles; size distribution; QCM-D; protein binding; DNA hybridization; dual harmonic; lipid bilayer formation;

   Sammanfattning : The QCM-D (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring) technique is an increasingly popular tool in studies of molecular interactions at interfaces, e.g. binding/unbinding reactions at surfaces, studies of thin film properties, and conformational changes. LÄS MER

3. 12. Responding Model Membranes. Lipid Phase Behaviour, Domain Formation and Permeability

   Författare :Emma Sparr; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water and solute flux; Gradients; Monolayer; Two-dimensional crystals; Line activiy; Osmotic stress; Interlamellar forces; Phospholipid-cholesterol interactions; Phase transitions; Bilayer stack; Stratum corneum; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the interplay between the lipid phase behaviour, domain formation and the permeability of bilayer membranes. An essential part of this work has been the understanding of the phase transitions and equilibrium properties of lipid bilayers. LÄS MER

4. 13. Computational modeling of biological barriers

   Författare :Christian Wennberg; Erik Lindahl; Thomas Cheatham; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular dynamics; cholesterol; lipid bilayer; permeability; long-range interactions; Lennard-Jones; dispersion; particle-mesh Ewald; stratum corneum; skin formation; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

   Sammanfattning : One of the most important aspects for all life on this planet is the act to keep their biological processes in a state where they do not reach equilibrium. One part in the upholding of this imbalanced state is the barrier between the cells and their surroundings, created by the cell membrane. LÄS MER

5. 14. Interorganellar connectivity : From protein to lipid homeostasis

   Författare :Carlotta Peselj; Sabrina Büttner; Tim Levine; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interorganellar connectivity; nucleus; NVJs; chronic lipid bilayer stress; glucose and phosphate exhaustion; nutritional regimes; transmembrane chaperone; IPTP; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Sammanfattning : Interorganellar connectivity is fundamental for the maintenance of organellar and cellular functionality and viability. This is achieved and maintained by a complex network of signaling cascades, vesicle trafficking between organelles as well as by establishment of direct physical contact at membrane contact sites (MCS).

7. 15. Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

   Författare :Lovisa Ringstad; Martin Malmsten; Per Hansson; Jeremy Ramsden; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adsorption; antibacterial; antimicrobial peptide; bilayer; ellipsometry; electrochemistry; electrostatic interactions; hydrophobicity; liposome; membrane; monolayer; phospholipid; secondary structure; supported bilayer.; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry; farmaceutisk fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : Due to increasing problems with bacterial resistance development, there is a growing need for identifying new types of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides constitute an interesting group of substances for this purpose, since they are believed to act mainly by disrupting the bacterial membrane, which is a fast and non-specific mechanism.
