Delineation and analysis of lateral clustering of lipids in model bilayers is an important step toward understanding of the physical processes underlying formation of lipid domains and rafts in cell membranes. Computer modeling methods represent a powerful tool to address the problem since they can

Peptides of the "WALP" family, acetyl-GWW(LA)(n)LWWA-[ethanol]amide, have proven to be opportune models for investigating lipid-peptide interactions. Because the average orientations and motional behavior of the N- and C-terminal Trp (W) residues differ, it is of interest to investigate how the posi

… The effect of a local anesthetic, lidocaine hydrochloride (LC·HCl), on the bilayer systems of purified egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) was studied by means of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), Prodan fluorescence and electrophoretic light scattering. …
