We investigated the effect of submicellar lipids on amyloid fibril formation. Thioflavin T fluorescence studies showed that submicellar levels of the short-chain phospholipids, dipentanoylphosphatidylcholine and dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine, strongly inhibited amyloid fibril formation by an 11-residue peptide derived from human apolipoprotein C-II

Intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) between the integral outer membrane protein OmpX from Escherichia coli and small bicelles of dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) give insights into protein-lipid interactions. Intermolecular NOEs between hydrophobic tails of lipid and protein

The J-aggregate of chlorophyll a (Chla) functions as a light-harvesting antenna in natural systems. In this study, we employed the phospholipid membranes composed of longer-chain 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and shorter-chain 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), as a platform to induce Chla aggregates. The DMPC/DHPC
Diffusion of various poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tracers of well-defined molecular weight and narrow polydispersity confined within the aqueous interstices between positively magnetically aligned bicelles was measured using pulsed-field-gradient (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance. The bicelles consisted of mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC)

The amyloidogenic peptide apolipoprotein C-II(60-70) is known to exhibit lipid-dependent aggregation behaviour. While the peptide rapidly forms amyloid fibrils in solution, fibrillization is completely inhibited in the presence of lipids. In order to obtain molecular-level insights into the mechanism of
