Alpha-tocopherol inhibits pore formation in the oxidized bilayers
Phansiri Boonnoy, Mikko Karttunen, Jirasak Wong-ekkabut
In biological membranes, alpha-tocopherols (α-toc; vitamin E) protect polyunsaturated lipids from free radicals. Although the interactions of α-toc with non-oxidized lipid bilayers…
Folding and insertion thermodynamics of the transmembrane WALP peptide
Tristan Bereau, W. F. Drew Bennett, Jim Pfaendtner +2
The anchor of most integral membrane proteins consists of one or several helices spanning the lipid bilayer. The WALP peptide, GWW(LA)(L)WWA, is a common model helix to study t…
Structural Effects of Small Molecules on Phospholipid Bilayers Investigated by Molecular Simulations
Bryan W. Lee, Roland Faller, Amadeu K. Sum +3
We summarize and compare recent Molecular Dynamics simulations on the interactions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers in the liquid crystalline phase with a number o…
