Molecular Dynamics Simulations Unveil the Aggregation Patterns and Salting out of Polyarginines at Zwitterionic POPC Bilayers in Solutions of Various Ionic Strengths

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that polyarginine peptides aggregate at POPC membranes, with aggregation increasing under higher ionic strength due to salting-out effects.

A Stealthy Player in Lipid Experiments? EDTA Binding to Phosphatidylcholine Membranes Probed by Simulations and Monolayer Experiments

This paper shows EDTA anions bind to phosphatidylcholine monolayers, altering surface pressure and highlighting potential interference in lipid experiments.

Membrane lipid reshaping underlies oxidative stress sensing by the mitochondrial proteins UCP1 and ANT1

The paper shows that oxidative stress alters lipid curvature, enhancing UCP1 and ANT1 protonophoric activity by reducing stored curvature elastic stress in membranes.

Mechanism of the ANT-mediated transport of fatty acid anions across the inner mitochondrial membrane

The paper investigates the mechanism of ANT1-mediated transport of fatty acid anions across the mitochondrial inner membrane using biophysical and computational methods.
