Interaction of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) with Model Mammalian Cell Membr...
Atherosclerosis and subsequent clinical complication is one of the biggest killers in the western world, with a death toll reaching 16.7 million deaths per year. Although many... -
Effect of Cholesterol on NHE1 intracellular domain adsorption on lipid bilayers
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein with the primary function of regulating the pH in the cytosol by exchanging one proton with one Na+ ion. The... -
Self-assembling antimicrobial peptides: interactions with model lipid membranes
We propose to investigate antimicrobial peptides that self-assemble into well-defined nanostructures. Previous SAXS results have shown that the peptides form rather robust... -
Lipid exchange between high density lipoprotein (HDL) and model phosphatidylc...
Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related... -
Antimicrobial peptide-loaded nanogels and their interaction with lipid bilayers
Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, bacteria membrane disrupting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of increasing interest as alternatives to classical antibiotics. AMPs are...
