Getting Across the Cell Membrane: An Overview for Small Molecules, Peptides, and ProteinsThe ability to effi ciently access cytosolic proteins is desired in both biological research and medicine. However, targeting intracellular proteins is often challenging, because to reach the cytosol, exogenous ...
Novel small molecules affecting cell membrane as potential therapeutics for avian pathogenic Escherichia coliAvian pathogenic(APEC), a most common bacterial pathogen of poultry, causes multiple extra-intestinal diseases in poultry which results in significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide...
How does water move across the cell membrane? Discuss how are cells able to transport large molecules. Can a water-soluble molecule, a small fat soluble molecule and a small charged ion pass directly through a cell membrane? Why or why not?

General anesthetics: utilizing the membrane as a conduit to modulation sites in ion channels 4. Interactions of steroid hormones with lipid bilayers an...
Within the solubility–diffusion model of passive membrane permeation of small molecules, translocation of the permeant across the biological membrane is traditionally assumed to obey the Smoluchowski diffusion equation, which is germane for classical diffusion on an inhomogeneous free-energy and diffusivity...
This review focuses on the progress that has been made toward the development of small molecules that emulate the properties of AMPs, both in terms of design and biological activity. Herein we provide an extensive discussion of the structural features of various designs and we examine biological ...
However, the molecular identity of the channel remained unknown, and the permeability of organic molecules across the thylakoid membranes has not been explored further. In this study, using proteoliposomes reconstituted with the thylakoid membrane proteins of muroplasts, cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. ...
A beneficial property for elements to be mobile is their relatively small size. Small molecules like O2move across cell membranes via diffusion resulting in gradient formation, which is dependent on factors like temperature, and consumption in certain tissues as it was proposed in anther development ...
