The lytic action of a number of N-acyl amino acids on lecithin liposomes was examined. The agents' affinity for the lecithin liposome membrane was measured and the results obtained were treated to estimate the interactions of the amino acid residues with the lecithin polar head group at the surface

## Abstract One of the major tasks in understanding the etiopathogenesis of amyloid beta‐induced neurotoxicity of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is in fully capturing the large number of the biochemical processes that influence each other during the course of the disease, in vivo. Model membranes posses
## Abstract Incubation of placental brush border membrane (BBM) along with sonicated vesicles of exogenous lipids (egg yolk PC) in the presence of phospholipid‐transfer protein (PL‐TP) showed a decrease in the alkaline phosphatase activity due to the change in the membrane micro‐environment, such a
Acetylcholine receptor (AcChR) enriched membrane fragments from Torpedo californica electroplax were labeled by in situ photogenerated nitrenes from a hydrophobic fluorescent probe, pyrene-1-sulfonyl azide. Preferential photolabeling of membrane proteins, mainly AcChR, has been achieved and there is
It is well established that the oxidation state of cysteine residues in proteins is critical to overall physical stability. Disulfide bonds most often impart thermodynamic stability, but in some cases, diminish it. Predicting the circumstances that lead to each outcome is difficult because mechanist
