Structural Determinants of Water Permeability through the Lipid Membrane
Despite intense study over many years, the mechanisms by which water and small nonelectrolytes cross lipid bilayers remain unclear. While prior studies of permeability through membranes have focused on solute characteristics, such as size, polarity, and partition coefficient in hydrophobic solvent, we focus here on water permeability in seven single component bilayers composed of different lipi...
متن کاملStructural determinants of purple membrane assembly.
The purple membrane is a two-dimensional crystalline lattice formed by bacteriorhodopsin and lipid molecules in the cytoplasmic membrane of Halobacterium salinarum. High-resolution structural studies, in conjunction with detailed knowledge of the lipid composition, make the purple membrane one of the best models for elucidating the forces that are responsible for the assembly and stability of i...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Profiles Reveal Structural and Functional Determinants of Lipid-binding.
One of the major challenges in the genomic era is annotating structure/function to the vast quantities of sequence information now available. Indeed, most of the protein sequence database lacks comprehensive annotation, even when experimental evidence exists. Further, within structurally resolved and functionally annotated protein domains, additional functionalities contained in these domains a...
متن کاملMembrane thickening aerobic digestion processes.
Sludge management accounts for approximately 60% of the total wastewater treatment plant expenditure and laws for sludge disposal are becoming increasingly stringent, therefore much consideration is required when designing a solids handling process. A membrane thickening aerobic digestion process integrates a controlled aerobic digestion process with pre-thickening waste activated sludge using ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Gunshot Residue Deposited on Cotton Cloth Target at Close Range Shooting Distances
The study of gunshot residue (GSR) has become imperative in forensic firearm examination. It may be used to estimate firing distance, to identify bullet holes and to determine whether or not a person has discharged a firearm. This study emphasized on the examination of the pattern of GSR particles deposited on cotton cloth target at different shooting distances (3 inch-12 inch). Two types of pi...
