A saposin protein–lipid nanoparticle system stabilizes diverse, fragile membrane proteins in a lipid environment for structural and functional studies. A limiting factor in membrane protein ...

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2 ...

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) is one such protein with an important role in cardiovascular health, but its mechanism of action on the phospholipid membrane was unknown.

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2 ...

The researchers were surprised to find that in Rhodospirillum two so-called porins – channel-like proteins that so-far were only known to be only responsible for the exchange of nutrients across the ...

Lp(a) lipoprotein binds proinflammatory oxidized phospholipids. We investigated whether levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) measured with use of monoclonal antibody E06 reflect the pre ...

Lipoprotein apheresis involves the extracorporeal removal of LDL and lipoprotein(a) ... (IA) columns, or through selective membrane filters. However, ...

An international team has discovered that the helical arrangement of porins and lipoprotein PapS is crucial for the curvature of the bacterium <i>Rhodospirillum rubrum</i>. This new mechanism of shape ...

Ferroptosis—a type of programmed cell death—occurs when the accumulation of iron triggers excessive oxidation of fats in cell membranes, ultimately causing the cell to break down. Cancer cells ...
