This study shows that the membrane environment modulates internal hydration and catalytic activity of LpCopA, with hydration levels affecting ATPase function.

This study uses calorimetry to show how lipidome changes affect metabolic efficiency and growth in JCVI-Syn3B cells, revealing lipid-dependent entropic costs of division.

The paper uses chemically defined lipid diets to study how lipidome complexity affects membrane function and cell phenotypes in minimal cells.
