Effects of molecular crowding and confinement on the spatial organization of a biopolymer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-25)A chain molecule can be entropically collapsed in a crowded medium in a free or confined space. Here, we present a unified view of how molecular crowding collapses a flexible polymer in three distinct spaces: free, ... -
Membrane binding and oligomer formation by the calcium-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic A54145: a quantitative study with pyrene excimer fluorescence
(Elsevier, 2016-09-20)A54145 is a lipopeptide antibiotic related to daptomycin that permeabilizes bacterial cell membranes. Its action requires both calcium and phosphatidylglycerol in the target membrane, and it is accompanied by the formation ...
