Lipid microdomains in model and biological membranes: how strong are the connections?
The lipid bilayer matrix of the membranes of normal cells is in a liquid crystalline (fluid) state.
Therefore, the cells (organelles and membranes) are destroyed mechanically by ice crystals, leading to death through cell lysis.
The deleterious effects of drying on membranes decreased during seed development.
A paradox arose from this obser vation because it was known that respiratory enzymes are immobilized in membranes.
The separated proteins were transblotted onto nitrocellulose membranes and protein spots bound to streptavidin were detected as described above.
In general, the membranes of nurse cells and follicle cells were less densely decorated with precipitates than the oolemma.
Premature rupture of the membranes occurred at 30.6 weeks of gestation and an emergency cesarian section was performed.
