Crystallizing Membrane Proteins in Lipidic Mesophases. A Host Lipid Screen.
The default lipid for the bulk of the crystallogenesis studies performed to date using the cubic mesophase method is monoolein. There is no good reason however, why this 18-carbon, cis-monounsaturated monoacylglycerol should be the preferred lipid for all target membrane proteins. The latter come from an array of biomembrane types with varying properties that include hydrophobic thickness, intr...
متن کاملWater-in-water mesophases for templating inorganics.
A water-in-water mesophase that contains only hydrophilic domains is reported for the first time; the mesophase templates highly porous calcium phosphate.
متن کاملCrystallization of Membrane Proteins in Lipidic Mesophases
Membrane proteins perform critical functions in living cells related to signal transduction, transport and energy transformations, and, as such, are implicated in a multitude of malfunctions and diseases. However, a structural and functional understanding of membrane proteins is strongly lagging behind that of their soluble partners, mainly, due to difficulties associated with their solubilizat...
متن کاملBlock Copolymer/Water/Oil Mesophases
In the presence of selective solvents, amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble and form different mesomorphic structures, known as mesophases, such as micellar cubic, lamellar, normal/reverse hexagonal, and bicontinuous cubic. Mesophases have been utilized in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications and as template for synthesis of mesoporous material for separation and adsorption processe...
متن کاملCrystallizing transmembrane peptides in lipidic mesophases.
Structure determination of membrane proteins by crystallographic means has been facilitated by crystallization in lipidic mesophases. It has been suggested, however, that this so-called in meso method, as originally implemented, would not apply to small protein targets having </=4 transmembrane crossings. In our study, the hypothesis that the inherent flexibility of the mesophase would enable c...
