1. Study on the Application of Electric Field to Giant Vesicles Comprised of 1,2-Dilauroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylcholine Using Optical Fluorescence Microscopy
The influence of alternating electric field (AC) in the structure and dynamics of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) comprised of 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DLPC) is reported. The investigations were conducted by using optical fluorescence microscopy as the method of analysis. The lipid membrane of the DLPC GUVs at the fluid phase can be

2. Efeito da carga dos lipídios na interação do BP100 em modelos de membrana / Charge effect of lipids in interaction of BP100 and model membranes
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been a promising alternative therapy to antibiotics. These molecules, consisting of less than 80 amino acids, with different structures and amino acids composition, have amphipathic character which gives them the ability to act on lipid bilayers. They act, by different mechanisms, over bacteria to mammal cells. The AMPs are

3. Fotossensibilização de vesículas lipídicas gigantes / Giant Lipid Vesicles Photosensibilization
A Terapia Fotodinâmica é um tratamento promissor no cura de várias doenças oftalmológicas e dermatológicas, assim como tumores. Este tratamento utiliza a combinação de luz e um composto fotossensível na presença de oxigênio. Neste trabalho objetivamos entender mecanismos de fotossensibilização em membranas. Para isso, estudamos os efeitos de irr

4. Síntese, estudos conformacionais e do mecanismo de ação da gomesina / Synthesis, conformational studies and the mechanism of action of gomesin
A gomesina (Gm) é um potente peptídeo antimicrobiano catiônico. Este peptídeo e seu análogo linear [Ser2,6,11,15]-Gm, com menor atividade lítica, foram sintetizados pela metodologia da fase sólida, empregando-se a estratégia t-Boc. Neste estudo, investigamos a interação da Gm e da [Ser2,6,11,15]-Gm com vesículas unilamelares gigantes (GUVs), compo

5. Propriedades de vesículas unilamelares gigantes / Properties of Giant Unillamelar Vesicles
The stability of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) has been monitored by phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy, using sugar gradients, sodium 1,3,6,8 pirene tetrasulfonate (PTS) as fluorescent probe, 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipiridinium chloride (MV) as fluorescence quencher and 2-(12-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-il) amino) dodecanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glic

6. Sterol structure determines the separation of phases and the curvature of the liquid-ordered phase in model membranes
The existence of lipid rafts in biological membranes in vivo is still debated. In contrast, the formation of domains in model systems has been well documented. In giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) prepared from ternary mixtures of dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin/cholesterol, a clear separation of liquid-disordered and sphingomyelin-enriched, liqui

7. Profilin Interaction with Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-Bisphosphate Destabilizes the Membrane of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Profilin, a small cytoskeletal protein, and phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] have been implicated in cellular events that alter the cell morphology, such as endocytosis, cell motility, and formation of the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis. Profilin has been shown to interact with PI(4,5)P2, but the role of this interaction is still poorl

8. A minimal system allowing tubulation with molecular motors pulling on giant liposomes
The elucidation of physical and molecular mechanisms by which a membrane tube is generated from a membrane reservoir is central to the understanding of the structure and dynamics of intracellular organelles and of transport intermediates in eukaryotic cells. Compelling evidence exists that molecular motors of the dynein and kinesin families are involved in t
