• closedAccess   Quatsomes: Vesicles Formed by Self-Assembly of Sterols and Quaternary Ammonium Surfactants 

      Ferrer Tasies, Lidia; Moreno Calvo, Evelyn; Cano Sarabia, Mary; Aguilella-Arzo, Marcel; Angelova, Angelina; Lesieur, Sylviane; Ricart, Susagna; Faraudo, Jordi; Ventosa, Nora; Veciana, Jaume American Chemical Society (2013)
      Thermodynamically stable nanovesicle structures are of high interest for academia and industry in a wide variety of application fields, ranging from preparation of nanomaterials to nanomedicine. Here, we show the ability ...
    • openAccess   Scaling Behavior of Ionic Transport in Membrane Nanochannels 

      Queralt-Martín, María; López Peris, María Lidón; Aguilella-Arzo, Marcel; Aguilella, Vicente; Alcaraz, Antonio American Chemical Society (2018)
      Ionic conductance in membrane channels exhibits a power-law dependence on electrolyte concentration (G ∼ c α ). The many scaling exponents, α, reported in the literature usually require detailed interpretations ...
    • closedAccess   Selectivity of Protein Ion Channels and the Role of Buried Charges. Analytical Solutions, Numerical Calculations, and MD Simulations 

      García Giménez, Elena; Alcaraz, Antonio; Aguilella-Arzo, Marcel; Aguilella, Vicente American Chemical Society (2015-06)
      The preference of large protein ion channels for cations or anions is mainly determined by the electrostatic interactions of mobile ions with charged residues of the protein. Here we discuss the widely spread paradigm that ...
