Theory and simulations of adhesion receptor dimerization on membrane surfaces.
The equilibrium constants of trans and cis dimerization of membrane bound (2D) and freely moving (3D) adhesion receptors are expressed and compared using elementary statistical-thermodynamics. Both processes are mediated by the binding of extracellular subdomains whose range of motion in the 2D environment is reduced upon dimerization, defining a thin reaction shell where dimer formation and di...
متن کاملG-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملon translation of politeness strategies in dialogues involving female characters in translations and retranslations of novels translated before and after the islamic revolution of iran and their effects on the image of women: a polysystem theory approach
abstract reception environment has considerable effects on accepting a translation. as the expectations of a target culture and its values and needs change throughout history, its criteria for accepting a translation or rejecting it will change accordingly (gentzler, 2001). the expectations of iran, as the reception environment in the present study, have changed after the islamic revolution. i...
Colloidal adhesion to hydrophilic membrane surfaces
Colloidal adhesion to membrane surfaces is an important parameter in determining membrane fouling propensity and in optimizing membrane cleaning strategies. It has previously been demonstrated that acid–base interactions can significantly affect colloid–membrane interaction as a colloid approaches a membrane surface, however, the effect of acid–base interactions on adhesion has received less at...
متن کاملOn the theory of membrane fusion. The adhesion-condensation mechanism.
The primary act of the adhesion-condensation mechanism underlying membrane fusion is considered. This act involves the formation of a close dehydrated contact between membranes and the subsequent crystallization of molecules of the external monolayers in the contact region. Crystallization associated with a decrease in the area per molecule gives rise to elastic stresses which cause a disruptio...
