In a minimalist design approach, a synthetic peptide MSI-367 [(KFAKKFA)(3)-NH(2)] was designed and synthesized with the objective of generating cell-selective nonlytic peptides, which have a significant bearing on cell targeting. The peptide exhibited potent activity against both bacteria and fungi
A pH controlled flow cell device was constructed to allow electrophoretic movement of charged lipids and membrane associated proteins in supported phospholipid bilayers. The device isolated electrolysis products near the electrodes from the electrophoresis process within the bilayer. This allowed
This study presents a new reaction of cationic vinylidene complexes with Me₃SiN₃ (TMSN₃), which yields N-coordinated nitrile complexes 3. Treatment of a ruthenium acetylide precursor containing indenyl and dppe ligands with a series of organic halides produced the corresponding vinylidene
Temperature-sensitive hydrogel polymers are utilized as responsive layers in various applications. Although the polymer's native characteristics have been studied extensively, details concerning its properties during interaction with biorelated structures are lacking. This work investigates the interaction between a thermoresponsive polymer

The structure of hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) containing either a pure cholesterol or mixed cholesterol/dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) proximal layer adsorbed onto an octadecanethiol (ODT) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold substrate have been investigated by sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The
