“…These observations are consistent with the notion that Zn 2+ electrostatically binds with negatively charged phospholipids and consequently leads to extensive reordering of the bilayer. 24,27,49,[56][57][58] Similar phenomena have been observed when incorporating peptides into PS-containing vesicles. 59 Moreover, upon addition to SLBs, Zn 2+ may readily bind with the PS in the upper leaflet of the bilayer and thus introduce an asymmetry in the membrane.…”

“…These observations are consistent with the notion that Zn 2+ could induce cell malformation and apoptotic and therefore be toxic to neurons and astrocytes. [49][50][51] Indeed, deformation of membranes can have remarkable effects on the function of membrane-anchored target proteins, which may account for physiological function of Zn 2+ involved in the regulation of several cellular processes.…”
The interaction between metal ions and phospholipids plays an essential role in cellular signal transduction, oxidative lipid damage and other biological processes. Herein, we report fluorescence microscopy analysis of the...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
