Dialectics of antimicrobial peptides II: Theoretical models of pore formation and membrane protection
Oleg V. Kondrashov, Marta V. Volovik, Zaret G. Denieva +5
Amphipathic peptides are considered promising antibiotics because of their ability to form pores in bacterial membranes. In two companion papers, we analyzed both experimentally an…
Dialectics of antimicrobial peptides I: common mechanisms of offensive and protecting roles of the peptides
Marta V. Volovik, Zaret G. Denieva, Oleg V. Kondrashov +2
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have intrigued researchers for decades due to the contradiction between their high potential against resistant bacteria and the inability to find a st…
Additional contributions to elastic energy of lipid membranes: Tilt-curvature coupling and curvature gradient
Konstantin V. Pinigin, Peter I. Kuzmin, Sergey A. Akimov +1
Lipid bilayer membranes are flexible thin laterally fluid films consisting of two unimolecular layers of lipids. On spatial scales much larger than the bilayer thickness, the membr…
Splay and tilt energy of bipolar lipid membranes
Timur R. Galimzyanov, Peter I. Kuzmin, Peter Pohl +1
Archaea organisms are able to survive in extremely aggressive environment. It is thought that such resistance, at least, in part is sustained by unique properties of archaea membra…
