Implicit solvent simulations of peptide interactions with anionic lipid membranes.
A recently developed implicit membrane model (IMM1) is supplemented with a Gouy-Chapman term describing counterion-screened electrostatic interactions of a solute with negatively charged membrane lipids. The new model is tested on peptides that bind to anionic membranes. Pentalysine binds just outside the plane of negative charge, whereas Lys-Phe peptides insert their aromatic rings into the hy...
متن کاملN-Ras forms dimers at POPC membranes.
Ras is a central regulator of cellular signaling pathways. It is mutated in 20-30% of human tumors. To perform its function, Ras has to be bound to a membrane by a posttranslationally attached lipid anchor. Surprisingly, we identified here dimerization of membrane anchored Ras by combining attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, biomolecular simulations, and Förste...

متن کاملRecent Progresses in Preparation and Characterization of RO Membranes
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purifcation technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles for the production of drinking water. The frst RO membrane for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and other applications were made of cellulose acetate. But, the polyamide thin-flm composite membrane that can tolerate wide pH...
متن کاملSimulations of Recent Heavy Ion Beam Matter Heating Experiments at GSI
In December 2003, the SIS-18 delivered a 350 MeV/u intense uranium beam and a record high intensity of more than 4 × 10 particles was achieved. The beam focal spot was elliptic while the beam power profile along the radial direction was Gaussian with a (FWHM)x = 0.85 mm and (FWHM)y = 1.6 mm. The experimentally measured temporal beam power profile is shown in Fig.1 which is very similar to a Gau...
