- Homo-polymers with balanced hydrophobicity translocate through lipid bilayers and enhance local solvent permeability Marco Werner, Jens-Uwe Sommer and Vladimir A. Baulin Soft Matter, 8, 11708-11716 (2012) Recent experimental studies indicate that polymeric structures with a well-adjusted balance of amphiphilic parts may translocate through self-assembled phospholipid bilayers and enhance the passive trans-membrane transport of smaller molecules. Using a coarse grained lattice Monte Carlo model with explicit solvent we investigate self-assembled lipid [...]...
- Direct proof of spontaneous translocation of lipid-covered hydrophobic nanoparticles through a phospholipid bilayer Science Advances 2 (11), e1600261 (2016) Yachong Guo, Emmanuel Terazzi, Ralf Seemann, Jean Baptiste Fleury and Vladimir A. Baulin Hydrophobic nanoparticles introduced into living systems may lead to increased toxicity, can activate immune cells, or can be used as nanocarriers for drug or gene delivery. It is generally accepted that small hydrophobic nanoparticles are blocked by lipid bilayers and accumulate in the [...]...
- Critical adsorption controls translocation of polymer chain through lipid bilayers and permeation of solvent J.-U. Sommer, M. Werner and V. A. Baulin Europhysics Letters, 98, 18003 (2012) Monte Carlo simulations using an explicit solvent model indicate a new pathway for translocation of a polymer chain through a lipid bilayer. We consider a polymer chain composed of repeat units with a given hydrophobicity and a coarse-grained model of a lipid bilayer in [...]...
- Can a carbon nanotube pierce through a phospholipid bilayer? S. Pogodin and V.A. Baulin ACS Nano, 4 (9), 5293–5300 (2010) Great efficiency to penetrate into living cells is attributed to carbon nanotubes due to a number of direct and indirect observations of carbon nanotubes inside the cells. However, a direct evidence of physical translocation of nanotubes through phospholipid bilayers and the exact microscopic mechanism of their [...]...
