After a long hiatus, we’re back to posting preprints. Here are the first two:
- Structural Determinants of the Energetic Barrier of Phospholipid Flip-Flop. Maisa Vuorte led this project on how lipid flip-flop free energies depend on the properties of both the flipping lipid and the host membrane. With Utkarsh Pandey and Matti Javanainen. bioRxiv link
- Protein Crowding Buffers Membrane Fluidity. Matti Javanainen showed that proteins and cholesterol have similar effects on lipid diffusion across phases, but act through different molecular mechanisms. With Balázs Fábián, Jorge Bernardino de la Serna, and Hector Martinez-Seara. bioRxiv link
More will follow in the coming months!
