Abstract:Although cell membranes in physiological conditions exist in excess of water, there is a number of biochemical processes, such as adsorption of biomacromolecules or membrane fusion events, that require partial or even complete, transient dehydration of lipid membranes. Even though the dehydration process is crucial for understanding all fusion events, still little is known about the structural adaptation of the lipid membranes when their interfacial hydration layer is perturbed. Here, we introduce the study on… Show more
