By attaching hydrophobic groups like cholesterol, which anchor them into the lipid membrane's hydrophobic core, scientists have been able to alter the membrane's properties, such as increasing its ...

Additionally, the hydrophobic spacer effectively repelled water ... times higher than polystyrene phosphonic acid membrane and 4 times higher than cross-linked sulfonated polystyrene membrane,” Noro ...

Through tryptophan-scanning mutagenesis and synthesized peptides, we develop a generalized mathematical model, which demonstrates that the hydrophobic moment and the symmetry sequence code at the ...

Cell membrane-camouflaged biomimetic functionalization of nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer theranostics. These cell membranes used for camouflaging are generally isolated ...

The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic part that is miscible well with water on the one side and a hydrophobic part that is not miscible well with water on the other, opens and closes ion ...

It however is clearly superior regarding cofactor regeneration and biocatalyst stability, making cell engineering for improved substrate uptake a strategy of choice. Alternatively, the supply of cells ...

(13) Polymers with strong cationic groups, for example, bind to the anionic constituents of bacterial cell surfaces through electrostatic attraction, but are unlikely to be integrated into the ...

Abstract: Currently, it is indicated that terahertz irradiation is capable of permeabilizing cell membrane by electroporation, which is able to facilitate transmembrane transport of molecules and ions ...
