Biology LipidsLiposomes

Liposomes. Membrane-bound vesicles constructed in the laboratory to transport biological molecules.
Locus (plural = loci). A specific location or site on a chromosome.
Log phase. See Logarithmic phase.

 


Liposomes Lipid vesicles having an aqueous region enclosed by a lipid bilayer
Long terminal repeat A sequence that is repeated at either end of a retroviral DNA molecule.

liposomes - synthetic bilayer in the form of a spherical vesicle
membrane potential - voltage difference across a membrane due to a slight excess of positive ions on one side and of negative ions on the other ...

liposome Artificial lipoid particle used to deliver antiparasitic drugs directly to macrophages (which eat the particles).

The lipid binding properties of apolipoprotein (apo) AIMilano, a molecular variant of human apolipoprotein AI, characterized by the Arg173----Cys substitution, was investigated by the use of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes.

In recent research, the collaborators showed that PSI reaction centers could be incorporated into a liposome, an artificial membrane made of lipids that mimics the composition of a membrane of a living cell.

This allows it spontaneously to form liposomes, or small lipid vesicles, which can then be used to transport materials into living organisms and study diffusion rates into or out of a cell membrane.

Synthetic carriers like liposomes can also be used to carry genes. Liposomes are microscopic lipid vesicles that are readily taken up by cells. If they are coated with DNA, the DNA is also taken up.

Thirdly, opening of the purified PT pore complex reconstituted into liposomes is inhibited by recombinant Bcl-2 or Bcl-XL, two apoptosis-inhibitory proteins that also prevent PT pore opening in cells and isolated mitochondria.
