The conformation and correlations of amphiphilic and antimicrobial peptides and the associated
changes of lipid bilayers can be studied in oriented lipid membranes deposited on solid …

Membrane fission is an essential process in membrane trafficking and other cellular functions.
While many fissioning and trafficking steps are mediated by the large GTPase dynamin, …

Newly synthesized proteins exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via coat protein complex II (COPII)
vesicles. Procollagen (PC), however, forms prefibrils that are too large to fit into …

The aim of this study was to rank order the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions
for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We searched 10 databases to …

We present an analysis of trajectories from Brownian dynamics simulations of diffusional
protein-protein encounter for the well-studied system of barnase and barstar. This analysis …

10.7554/eLife.02009.001 The mechanism of transport through the Golgi complex is not
completely understood, insofar as no single transport mechanism appears to account for all of …

Although the antimicrobial, fungal peptide alamethicin has been extensively studied, the
conformation of the peptide and the interaction with lipid bilayers as well as the mechanism of …

Background: Around the world, the timing of referral of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) patients for pulmonary rehabilitation differs from immediately after exacerbation (…

Background The feasibility of randomized trials often depends on successful patient recruitment.
Although numerous recruitment barriers have been identified it is unclear which of them …

We present a study of the short range ordering of hydrocarbon chains in phospholipid bilayers.
The x-ray peak associated with the hydrocarbon chains has been probed by means of …
