Stimuli-responsive cycloaurated ‘OFF-ON’ switchable anion transporters
Published 2020-01-01Anion transporters have shown potential application as anti-cancer agents that function by disrupting homeostasis and triggering cell death. In this research article we report switchable anion transport by gold complexes ...Open AccessArticle -
Prospects and Challenges in Anion Recognition and Transport
Published 2020-01-01The genesis of anion receptor chemistry can be traced back to the late 1960s with the work of Shriver and Biallas on chelating Lewis acids and Park and Simmons on ammonium-containing cryptandlike halide receptors. Despite ...Open AccessArticle -
Penetration of Phospholipid Membranes by Poly-L-Lysine Depends on Cholesterol and Phospholipid Composition
Published 2020-01-01Clusters of positively-charged basic amino acid residues, particularly lysine, are known to promote the interaction of many peripheral membrane proteins with the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane via electrostatic ...Open AccessArticle -
Polarity of the ATP binding site of the Na+,K+-ATPase, gastric H+,K+-ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase
Published 2020-01-01A fluorescence ratiometric method utilising the probe eosin Y is presented for estimating the ATP binding site polarity of P-type ATPases in different conformational states. The method has been calibrated by measurements ...Open AccessArticle -
Physiological roles of transverse lipid asymmetry of animal membranes
Published 2020-01-01The plasma membrane phospholipid distribution of animal cells is markedly asymmetric. Phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are concentrated in the inner leaflet, whereas phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ...Open AccessArticle
