    A multi-laboratory benchmark study of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) using Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding to EDTA

    A small-scale ITC benchmarking study was performed involving 9 biophysics laboratories/facilities, to evaluate inter-laboratory and intra-laboratory basal levels of uncertainty. Our prime goal was to assess a ...

    A minimal helical-hairpin motif provides molecular-level insights into misfolding and pharmacological rescue of CFTR

    Our meagre understanding of CFTR misfolding and its reversal by small-molecule correctors hampers the development of mechanism-based therapies of cystic fibrosis. Here we exploit a helical-hairpin construct—th...

    Role of Coulombic Repulsion in Collisional Lipid Transfer Among SMA(2:1)-Bounded Nanodiscs

    Styrene/maleic acid (SMA) and related copolymers are attracting great interest because they solubilise membrane proteins and lipids to form polymer-encapsulated nanodiscs. These nanodiscs retain a lipid-bilaye...

    Uptake and release protocol for assessing membrane binding and permeation by way of isothermal titration calorimetry

    The activity of many biomolecules and drugs crucially depends on whether they bind to biological membranes and whether they translocate to the opposite lipid leaflet and trans aqueous compartment. A general strat...
