    • 3D structure of a Brucella melitensis porin: molecular modelling in lipid membranes 

      Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Zanuy Gomara, David; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Perpète, Eric A. (2018-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Brucella melitensis is a pathogenic bacterium responsible for brucellosis in mammals and humans. Its outer membrane proteins (Omp) control the diffusion of solutes through the membrane, and they consequently have a crucial ...

    • Free-standing flexible and biomimetic hybrid membranes for ions and ATP transport 

      Molina García, Brenda Guadalupe; Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Estrany Coda, Francesc; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Perpète, Eric A.; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (2020-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      The transport of metabolites across robust, flexible and free-standing biomimetic membranes made of three perforated poly (lactic acid) (pPLA) layers, separated by two anodically polymerized conducting layers of poly ...

    • Influence of the surrounding environment in re-naturalized ß-barrel membrane proteins 

      Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Triguero Enguídanos, Jordi; Torras Costa, Juan; Perpète, Eric A.; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Zanuy Gomara, David (2018-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      © 2017 Elsevier B.V. Outer-membrane porins are currently being used to prepare bioinspired nanomembranes for selective ion transport by immobilizing them into polymeric matrices. However, the fabrication of these ...

    • Properties of Omp2a-based supported lipid bilayers: comparison with polymeric bioinspired membranes 

      Puiggalí Jou, Anna; Pawlowski, Jan; Valle Mendoza, Luis Javier del; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Perpète, Eric A.; Sek, Slawomir; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-08-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Omp2a ß-barrel outer membrane protein has been reconstituted into supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) to compare the nanomechanical properties (elastic modulus, adhesion forces, and deformation) and functionality of the resulting ...

    • Self-standing, conducting and capacitive biomimetic hybrid nanomembranes for selective molecular ion separation 

      Puiggalí Bellalta, Jordi; Molina García, Brenda Guadalupe; Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Perpète, Eric A.; Zanuy Gomara, David; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2021-08-14)
      Article
      Open Access
      Hybrid free-standing biomimetic materials are developed by integrating the VDAC36 ß-barrel protein into robust and flexible three-layered polymer nanomembranes. The first and third layers are prepared by spin-coating a ...

    • Structural and functional characterization of Solanum tuberosum VDAC36 

      Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Matagne, André; Zanuy Gomara, David; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Perpète, Eric A.; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle (2020-06-24)
      Article
      Open Access
      As it forms water-filled channel in the mitochondria outer membrane and diffuses essential metabolites such as NADH and ATP, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) protein family plays a central role in all eukaryotic ...

    • Thermomechanical response of a representative porin for biomimetics 

      Lopes Rodrigues, Maximilien; Puiggalí Jou, Anna; Martí Ballesté, Dídac; Valle Mendoza, Luis Javier del; Michaux, Catherine Anne Gisèle; Perpète, Eric A.; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-07-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      The thermomechanical response of Omp2a, a representative porin used for the fabrication of smart biomimetic nanomembranes, has been characterized using microcantilever technology and compared with standard proteins. For ...
