Voltage-gated lipid ion channels
Andreas Blicher, Thomas Heimburg
Synthetic lipid membranes can display channel-like ion conduction events even in the absence of proteins. We show here that these events are voltage-gated with a quadratic voltage…
Comparing ion conductance recordings of synthetic lipid bilayers with cell membranes containing TRP channels
Katrine R. Laub, Katja Witschas, Andreas Blicher +3
In this article we compare electrical conductance events from single channel recordings of three TRP channel proteins (TRPA1, TRPM2 and TRPM8) expressed in human embryonic kidney c…
The thermodynamics of lipid ion channel formation in the absence and presence of anesthetics. BLM experiments and simulations
Katarzyna Wodzinska, Andreas Blicher, Thomas Heimburg
It is known that lipid membranes become permeable in their melting regime. In microscopic conductance measurements on black lipid membranes one finds that conduction takes place vi…
The temperature dependence of lipid membrane permeability, its quantized nature, and the influence of anesthetics
Andreas Blicher, Katarzyna Wodzinska, Matthias Fidorra +2
We investigate the permeability of lipid membranes for fluorescence dyes and ions. We find that permeability reaches a maximum close to the chain melting transition of the membrane…
