Passive fiber ring flip-flop memory based on polarization dynamics
Passive fiber ring resonators synchronously pumped by cw trains of ultrashort pulses are shown to exhibit polarization symmetry breaking. Application of this feature to all-optical storage is considered. The proposed storage device operates in the flip-flop mode which makes possible all-optical writing and erasing operations on individual bits. Numerical simulations suggest that a storage capac...
متن کاملThe mystery of phospholipid flip-flop in biogenic membranes.
Phospholipid flip-flop is required for bilayer assembly and the maintenance of biogenic (self-synthesizing) membranes such as the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum and the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. Due to the membrane topology of phospholipid biosynthesis, newly synthesized phospholipids are initially located in the cytoplasmic leaflet of biogenic membranes and must be translocated to the ...
متن کاملPolyamine regulation of plasma membrane phospholipid flip-flop during apoptosis.
During apoptosis, phosphatidylserine (PS) is moved from the plasma membrane inner leaflet to the outer leaflet where it triggers recognition and phagocytosis of the apoptotic cell. Although the mechanisms of PS appearance during apoptosis are not well understood, it is thought that declining activity of the aminophospholipid translocase and calcium-mediated, nonspecific flip-flop of phospholipi...
متن کاملFacilitated phospholipid flip-flop using synthetic steroid-derived translocases.
Cholate esters with phenylurea groups at the 7alpha- and 12alpha-positions are highly effective promoters of phosphatidylcholine translocation across vesicle and cell membranes. The urea groups are essential for strong binding of the highly polar phosphate portion of the phosphocholine headgroup and apparently cannot be replaced by simple amide, alcohol, or amine moieties. NMR and UV studies sh...
متن کاملDoes phospholipid flip-flop affect axon potassium channels?
Dear Sir: In a recent paper, McLaughlin and Harary (1974) advanced the hypothesis that the asymmetrical distribution of lipids on the two sides of a biological membrane could be directly attributed to the voltage difference across the membrane. This is based on the mechanism of phospholipid ffip-flop, according to which lipid molecules can move from one side of a bilayer to the other and still ...
