Model of Cell Membrane Electroporation and Transmembrane Molecular Transport
Electroporation is a technique in which, under the influence of electric field, the permeability of the cell membrane increases due to the formation of pores in the cell membrane, providing pathways for molecular transport (Abidor et al. 1979, Neumann et al. 1998, Tsong 1991, Weaver and Chizmadzhev 1989, Zimmermann 1982). As electroporation is usually evaluated by indirect indications (Gehl and...
متن کاملComputer Aided Molecular Modeling Of Membrane Metalloprotease
Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...
متن کاملA Subunit Model for the Tropocollagen Macromolecule.
In this article is presented a novel subunit model for the tropocollagen (TC) macromolecule, the monomeric unit of soluble collagen.1 The TC macromolecule is a rigid rod of definite length composed of three helical polypeptide strands that are equal (or very nearly equal) in length.2 4 The strands are of two types chemically, designated a1 and a2.4 Each macromolecule contains two al strands and...
متن کاملMolecular Size Dependency of Water Macromolecule Exchange Induced Frequency Shift
Introduction: A recent study suggested that water macromolecule exchange (WME) processes can contribute to the in vivo gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) contrast in high field phase imaging [1]. Due to the complex nature of macromolecule-water interaction, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model system to demonstrate this effect. It is assumed that the WME interaction depends on the...
متن کاملActivation of transmembrane cell‐surface receptors via a common mechanism? The “rotation model”
It has long been thought that transmembrane cell-surface receptors, such as receptor tyrosine kinases and cytokine receptors, among others, are activated by ligand binding through ligand-induced dimerization of the receptors. However, there is growing evidence that prior to ligand binding, various transmembrane receptors have a preformed, yet inactive, dimeric structure on the cell surface. Var...
