1. Understanding Movement of Molecules across the Cell Membrane

   17 Apr 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Brandi Childress, NNCI Nano

   This lesson uses a macro-model to demonstrate the diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane.  A deshelled egg serves as the cell model to observe movement in and out of the “cell”.  Students will learn that the cell membrane is composed of a complex nano-structured...

2. Polyvalent Nanoparticle Binding Simulator

   16 Apr 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Nilsson, Lauren, JCS Kadupitiya, Vikram Jadhao

   Simulates the binding of ligand-decorated nanoparticles to cell membrane driven by ligand-cell-receptor attraction

4. Discussion about Ion Channels Using Reduced Model Approaches

   21 Sep 2011 | | Contributor(s):: James Fonseca

   The seminar will cover the reasons how the channels are able to selectively permit the flow of certain species of ions while blocking other physiological cations.

5. Controlling Membrane Organization: Effects of pH, Ions, and composition

   out of 5 stars 

   23 Mar 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Jennifer Hovis

   Our main research interests are in determining, at the molecular level, how cell membranes are organized and how that organization relates to function. The primary molecular building blocks of cell membranes are lipids, amphipathic molecules that assemble into two opposed leaflets forming a...
