Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

This membrane is chemically stable and permeable for protons and is well known for H2 fuel cell applications ... "We use a hydrophobic membrane instead. This membrane keeps its barrier functions ...

Cell membranes are made up of two phospholipid ... There are non-polar membrane proteins that are hydrophobic (water repellent) and polar membrane proteins that are hydrophilic (able to mix ...

Bearing three alcohol groups, glycerol is a basic building block for the cell membrane ... is hydrophilic ("water-loving") on one side and hydrophobic ("water-fearing") on the other.

The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic part that is miscible well with water on the one side and a hydrophobic part that is not miscible well with water on the other, opens and closes ion ...

They designed a beautifully simple method called the QTY code for transforming a hydrophobic cell membrane protein into a hydrophilic protein by substituting many hydrophobic amino acids.

"A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell ...

The membrane is what separates the cell from its external environment. The membrane is made of a lipid bilayer which acts as a hydrophobic (water resistant) barrier. Distributed within the ...

Membrane potential is the voltage or potential difference across the cell membrane. The potential difference is caused by the hydrophobic membrane separating charges, acting as both a capacitor and ...

These layers are made up of hydrophobic, or water-hating, and hydrophilic, or water-loving phases, and look similar to a mixture of oil and water. This lipid bilayer replicates the cell membranes ...

Lab set-up of a redox flow battery with the hydrophobic membrane (grey device at the bottom of the image ... stable and permeable for protons and is well known for H2 fuel cell applications. However, ...
