Polyelectrolyte-sensitized phospholipid vesicles

Thomas, James L., Tirrell, David A.·1992·Accounts of Chemical Research

Abstract

Control of the structure and permeability of biological membranes is one of the most basic and least understood problems in contemporary biophysics. Diverse cellular processes require exquisite control of the membrane structure, including endocytosis and exocytosis, maintenance of the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum, and mitosis and meiosis, to mention just a few. Recently, significant progress has been made in controlling the permeability, and often the structures, of synthetic bilayer vesicles. These studies are especially important in that they help elucidate previously unimagined mechanisms for membrane control. Although no single model system is likely to utilize all of the rich capabilities exploited in nature, the synthetic systems can serve to identify concepts and mechanisms likely to be useful in a biological context. In addition, control of vesicular membrane systems may usher in novel chemistries for use in imaging, sensing, and therapeutic applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
