Title: ssNMR as a Tool to Examine Lipid Bilayers<\/p>\n
PhD Candidate, Nieuwkoop Group<\/p>\n
Lipid bilayers are the surface at which many important processes, such as protein binding and ion diffusion occur, and yet they are not well understood. Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is a powerful and flexible technique that is well-equipped to study the structure and dynamics of a variety of systems, including lipid bilayers, at atomic resolution. A specific family of lipids, phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs), are of particular interest due to their role in cell-signaling pathways and their binding specificity. Using 1H and 31P ssNMR, the behavior of PIPs can be examined in the presence of other lipids, ions, and binding proteins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
