Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 1% of the population and is characterized by cartilage and bone destruction ultimately leading to loss of joint function. Early detection and intervention of disease provides the best hope for successful

Small-angle neutron scattering and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations have been used to determine the structural parameters (bilayer thickness D, polar region thickness D(H), interfacial lateral area of the unit cell A(UC) and alcohol partial interfacial area A(CnOH)) of fluid dioleoylphosphatidylcholine:dioleoylphosphatidylserine

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the adsorption of three lipids, namely, DOPC, DOPS, and DMTAP, on TiO2(110) rutile surfaces and the influence of the interface on their conformational properties. Three types of rutile (110) surfaces, characterized by

The lipid exchange/transfer between lipid membranes is important for many biological functions. To learn more about how the dynamics of such processes can be studied, we have investigated the interaction of positively and negatively charged lipid vesicles with supported lipid

This paper describes a method to form giant liposomes in solutions of physiologic ionic strength, such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or 150 mM KCl. Formation of these cell-sized liposomes proceeded from hybrid films of partially dried agarose and lipids.
