Crystalline protein domains and lipid bilayer vesicle shape transformations

Article Abstract:

A combination of confocal, fluorescence and differential interference contrast microscopy is used to study the effect of tethered streptavidin protein crystals on the bilayer curvature of several giant lipid unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The analysis of the mechanism for the protein-mediated stabilization of cellular membranes prove that the crystalline streptavidin domains have a strong stabilizing effect on the lipid membranes, leading to a better and facilitated membrane budding.

Liquid-liquid phase separations in urate oxidase/PEG mixtures: characterization and implications for protein crystallization

Article Abstract:

The experimental phase diagram of urate oxidase in the case of poly ethylene glycol (PEG) is characterized by determining the solubility curve and the dilute part of the liquid-liquid phase separation. The study shows that urate oxidase is a good model to study protein/PEG mixtures in the general context of protein crystallization.

Two-dimensional crystallization of streptavidin mutants

Article Abstract:
