Sentence examples for between the two leaflets from inspiring English sources

The X-ray structure of bacteriophage PRD1 revealed that the lipids are asymmetrically distributed between the two leaflets and facet length is controlled by a tape-measure protein.

This region is of sufficient size to harbor polar headgroups on their way across the membrane and thus may lower the energetic barrier for the diffusion of lipids between the two leaflets of the bilayer.

The collapse, which is reversible, is brought about as a result of activation of the phospholipid scramblase that exchanges phospholipids in a non-specific fashion between the two leaflets of the lipid bilayer.

Two of the proposed models are based on neutral lipids accumulating between the two leaflets of the ER membrane [48], [49], [50].

The results give credence to the hotly debated existence of mobile neutral lipid aggregates of unknown function present in malignant cells, and to the early biogenesis of lipid droplets accommodated between the two leaflets of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Although PS comprises only approximately 10% of plasma membrane phospholipid, even a simple equilibration of only this lipid between the two leaflets (from 100% inner to 50/50, inner/outer) would produce a 10% difference in the surface areas of the two leaflets, an unlikely event given that membranes cannot tolerate a difference of more than 1 2% in the surface area of the two leaflets.

A central Alfieri edge-to-edge stitch was placed between the anatomical middle of the two leaflets of the mitral valve after reinstitution of cardiopulmonary bypass.

A central edge-to-edge Alfieri stitch (mattress 4 0 braided suture) was placed between the anatomical middle of the two leaflets of the mitral valve.

Despite the different acyl chain length and the different orientations of the headgroups, the average distance between the phosphodiester groups in the two leaflets is almost identical in the bilayers formed by EPLs, 31.9 Å, and DMPC, 33.6 Å.

Comparison of the two structures shows that AQP0 does not adapt to the different length of the acyl chains in EPLs and that the distance between the phosphodiester groups in the two leaflets of the DMPC and EPL bilayers is almost identical.

The two bilayers contain the same number of lipids at comparable positions and have almost the same thickness (the average distance between the phosphodiester groups in the two leaflets is 31.9 Å for the EPL bilayer and 33.6 Å for the DMPC bilayer; Figure 3A).
