In this work, the changes in the lateral pressure in mixed membranes of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EPC) and a nonlamellar-forming lipid diolein (DO) were investigated with respect to increasing DO content. Several fluorescence techniques were employed to probe transitions of

The Amphipathic-Lipid-Packing-Sensor (ALPS) motif targets the protein ArfGAP1 to curved membranes during vesicle formation in the Golgi apparatus. ALPS specifically recognizes lipid packing defects due to the positive curvature of budding vesicles. In this work we assessed the microscopic interactions

Ferulic acid and its esters are known to be effective antioxidants. Feruloyl dioleoylglycerol was assessed for its ability to serve as an antioxidant in model membrane phospholipid vesicles. The molecule was incorporated into single-lamellar vesicles of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine at 1 and

Protein kinase Cα (PKCα) is activated by its translocation to the membrane. Activity assays show the importance of PIP(2) in determining the specific activity of this enzyme. A FRET stopped flow fluorescence study was carried out to monitor the rapid
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the dietary fat saturation degree and age on the lipid class (TAG, DAG, MAG, and FFA) composition and fatty acid digestibility along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and excreta
