There is growing interest in studying and engineering integral membrane proteins (MPs) that play key roles in sensing and regulating cellular response to diverse external signals. A MP must be expressed, correctly inserted and folded in a lipid bilay...
The most expedient unit of the human body is its cell. Encapsulated within the cell are many infinitesimal entities and molecules which are protected by a cell membrane. The proteins that are associated with this lipid based bilayer cell membrane are...
Fluorescence enhancement using nanocavity structures is a promising approach for rapid detection of amphiphilic biomarkers, which are essential for diagnosing diseases such as cancer and infections. This paper presents the use of a silver nanocube (A...
Membrane protein folding in the viscous microenvironment of a lipid bilayer is an inherently slow process that challenges experiments and computational efforts alike. The folding kinetics is moreover associated with topological modulations of the bio...
Understanding the permeation of biomolecules through cellular membranes is critical for many biotechnological applications, including targeted drug delivery, pathogen detection, and the development of new antibiotics. To this end, computer simulation...
Safe and efficient use of ultrasmall nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine requires numerous independent conditions to be met, including colloidal stability, selectivity for proteins and membranes, binding specificity, and low affinity for plasma protei...
