The plasma membrane encapsulates the cell's interior, acting as a barrier against the outside world. In cells with nuclei (eukaryotic cells), membranes also form internal compartments (organelles) which carry out specialized tasks, such as protein modification and sorting in the case of the Golgi...
bilayer lipid membrane 网络 双层类脂膜; 双层脂膜
Although it is now generally taken for granted that membranes are based on the presence of a lipid bilayer, that was not always the case. Early experiments, often by physicists, led to the understanding that thecellmembrane was lipid in nature. A key experiment using the Langmuir trough provid...

of the plasma membrane, it exhibits the greatest concentration in the cytosolic leaflet of the lipid bilayer (Yeagle2016). Interestingly, in numerous cancer cell types, phosphatidylethanolamine distribution is reversed with a preference for the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (Liu et al.,2017a...
Inspired by cell membrane structures, we developed an adaptive lipid-integrated bilayer coating (ALIBC) to enhance water retention in hydrogel-based sensors. Lipid layers and long-chain amphiphilic molecules are used as compact coating and anchoring agents on the hydrogel surface, mimicking the roles ...
Planar solid-supported lipid bilayers have been developed as simplified biological membranes to model the physical properties of cell membrane processes. Lipid bilayer membranes supported at conductive metal substrates provide a unique opportunity to investigate the effect of the static electric field on th...
lipid bilayer. The plasma membrane H+-ATPase, an enzyme from plant cells, is an excellent example of a transmembrane protein whose activity is influenced by the hydrophilic compartments at both sides of the membrane and by the hydrophobic domains of the lipid bilayer. As a result, an extensive...
The outer lipid membrane surface of eukaryotic cells is generally uncharged. Amphiphilic, water-soluble molecules such as local anesthetics, viral or antibiotic peptides, or peptide toxins therefore partition into the bilayer interface because of their hydrophobicity. All these compounds are found to de...
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we characterize the effects of membrane embedding on plant aquaporin SoPIP2;1, which has no reported high-affinity lipid interactions. The regulatory impacts of a realistic lipid bilayer, and nine different homogeneous bilayers, on varying SoPIP2;1 dynamics are ...
