The phrase "alteration of membrane" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, medicine, or any field discussing changes to cellular structures or functions.
Example: "The study focused on the alteration of membrane properties in response to environmental stressors."
Alternatives: "modification of membrane" or "change in membrane".
Then you'll know that the mechanism of ultrasound stimulation is yet unknown, but candidates include direct effects on ion channels or some transient alteration of membrane properties.
Alteration of membrane properties by insertion of cone shaped or inverse cone shaped amphiphiles or by cholesterol removal switches CD39 to the same enzymatic state as does removing or solubilizing the transmembrane domains.
Illustrative examples include: the manipulation of substrate selectivity and regiospecificity, the alteration of membrane binding properties, and probing the route of electron transfer.
The alteration of membrane fluidity, by both psychrophilic and thermophilic bacteria, is an example of structural adaptation.
Under conditions of oxidative stress, like exposure to nanomaterials [25], ROS production is dramatically increased, resulting in subsequent alteration of membrane lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
Therefore, the antimalarial activity of MeSter would directly depend on a profound alteration of membrane fluidity.
Reduction in proteinase secretion and alteration of membrane-associated properties of ATPase activity are other possible critical factors for antifungal activity of curcumin [ 82].
The Rcs system negatively regulates curli synthesis and is activated by mutations affecting the cell envelope (reviewed by Barnhart and Chapman) and metabolic stress via the alteration of membrane-related oligosaccharides.
Indeed, rhein has been found, in certain cancer cells, to induce apoptosis through the activation of caspase-3 [ 44- 46] and also to interact with the cell membrane, resulting in an alteration of membrane-associated functions [ 47, 48].
In addition, lipid peroxidation leads to a reduction in membrane fluidity, alteration of membrane-bounded protein, receptors, and ion channels, and generation of Aβ that induces more oxidative stress and calcium influx that induces glutamate excitotoxicity and cell death [ 50, 51].
Although exact mechanisms of the protection are still not fully known, potential factors underlying the protective effect have been proposed, including higher cytoplasmic density from an altered condition of hydration, increased susceptibility to oxidant stress, and alterations of membrane lipid asymmetry (Kuypers, 2008).
