Partitioning of liquid-ordered/liquid-disordered membrane microdomains induced by the fluidifying effect of 2-hydroxylated fatty acid derivatives
(2013-06-18)
[EN] Cellular functions are usually associated with the activity of proteins and nucleic acids. Recent studies have shown that lipids modulate the localization and activity of key membrane-associated signal transduction ...
Shortcuts to adiabaticity in optical waveguides using fast quasiadiabatic dynamics
(Optica Publishing Group, 2017-01-03)
We propose a fast quasiadiabatic approach to the design of optical waveguide devices. This approach distributes the system adiabaticity homogeneously over the device length, thus providing a shortcut to adiabaticity at a ...
Human ATG3 binding to lipid bilayers: role of lipid geometry, and electric charge
(Nature Publishing, 2017-11-15)
Specific protein-lipid interactions lead to a gradual recruitment of AuTophaGy-related (ATG) proteins to the nascent membrane during autophagosome (AP) formation. ATG3, a key protein in the movement of LC3 towards the ...
Triacylglycerol mimetics regulate membrane interactions of glycogen branching enzyme: implications for therapy
(Elsevier, 2017-06-19)
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a neurological disorder characterized by adult-onset neurogenic bladder, spasticity, weakness, and sensory loss. The disease is caused by aberrant glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) ...
Solvent and catalyst effect in the formic acid aided lignin-to-liquids
(Elsevier, 2018-09-13)
[EN] The effect of the type of solvent, ethanol or water, and a Ru/C catalyst were studied in the formic acid aided lignin conversion. The best results were obtained in the presence of the Ru/C catalyst and using ethanol ...
Pb(II) Induces Scramblase Activation and Ceramide-Domain Generation in Red Blood Cells
(Nature Publishing, 2018-05-10)
The mechanisms of Pb(II) toxicity have been studied in human red blood cells using confocal microscopy, immunolabeling, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and atomic force microscopy. The process follows a sequence of ...
Mixing brain cerebrosides with brain ceramides, cholesterol and phospholipids
(Nature Publishing, 2019-09-16)
The properties of bilayers composed of pure brain cerebroside (bCrb) or of binary mixtures of bCrb with brain ceramide, cholesterol, egg phosphatidylcholine or brain sphingomyelin have been studied using a combination of ...
Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Tool for Local Governments to Evaluate the Global and Local Sustainability of Transportation Systems in Urban Areas: Case Study
(ASCE, 2017-10-24)
Efficient management of urban transportation systems is a challenge for any local government that wishes to improve public wellbeing and comfort. With that end in mind, this paper proposes a tool for decision making and ...
Speed deficiency in shipbuilding contracts from the point of view of an efficient managing of the main engine
(University of Santander, 2010)
This article is related to the shipbuilding contracts and its purpose is to provide amethod of calculation of the economical damages sustained by a purchaser due tothe speed deficiency of the vessel delivered by the shipyard. ...
Some characterizations of the tensor product of complete lattices with applications to quantales
(Springer, 2018-09-17)
This paper examines tensor products of complete lattices in which one factor is com- pletely distributive. At least five characterizations of complete distributivity involving tensor products of complete lattices are given, ...
