Sentence examples for may affect membrane from inspiring English sources

The interaction between NPs and membrane amphiphilic biomolecules may affect membrane fluidity, integrity and lateral organization, which is important for NP safety evaluation and for new NP designs in biological and biomedical applications.

Alternatively, it has been postulated that IL-6 and/or TNF-α may affect membrane permeability, thereby increasing substrate availability and hence enzyme activity.

In the end, these lipid-associated effects may affect membrane protein function, membrane stability and the tendency to release membrane vesicles (exo- and endosomes).

Finally, we found that BPA exposure increased concentrations of cholines in PND2 mice, which may affect membrane integrity and could favor a decrease in acetylcholine production in the brain.

Other factors that may affect membrane fluidity involve changes in relative concentrations of sphingolipids, phospholipid with unsaturated acyl chains, and mixture ratio of lipids with low and high melting (phase transition) temperatures.

The change of membrane fluidity may affect membrane-associated functions, such as transportation of nutrients.

In addition, dietary long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may affect membrane-associated signaling proteins such as AKT[ 50].

In the present study, explanations for the absence of orfB transcript editing include, hydrophobicity alteration of the translated product; the lack of Phe58 in place of Leu in the absence of editing may adversely affect membrane attachment function; or the reduction of α-helix and extended coil in the protein may cause the malfunction of subunit 8 of the F1F0-ATPase complex.

While fungal protein secretion pathways differ from those of bacteria, high concentrations of MgSO4 may also affect membrane organization in eukaryotes, facilitating protein secretion and/or stimulating expression of genes that contribute to enhanced protein production and secretion.

The comparison of these figures should be conducted with care since the perturbation may also affect membrane trafficking.

In addition, they are as essential to membrane structure as transmembrane proteins, as their arrangement may affect the membrane conformation, stability, biological activity, folding, and the binding of other biomolecules [ 27].
