Searching for the role of membrane lipids in the mechanism of antibacterial effect of hinokitiol Open
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of monoterpenoid hinokitiol (β-thujaplicin) on the monolayers and bilayers composed of lipids typical for bacteria membranes and gain insight into the potential role of the lipids in antib…

Interactions of Brominated Flame Retardants with Membrane Models of Dehalogenating Bacteria: Langmuir Monolayer and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction Studies Open
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are small organic molecules containing several bromine substituents added to plastics to limit their flammability. BFRs can constitute up to 30% of the weight of some plastics, which is why they are produ…

Statin Action Targets Lipid Rafts of Cell Membranes: GIXD/PM-IRRAS Investigation of Langmuir Monolayers Open
Lipid rafts are condensed regions of cell membranes rich in cholesterol and sphingomyelin, which constitute the target for anticholesterolemic drugs - statins. In this work, we use for the first time a combined grazing-incidence X-ray diff…

Persistent organic pollutants in model fungal membranes. Effects on the activity of phospholipases Open
Soils are the final sink for multiple organic pollutants emitted to the environment. Some of these chemicals which are toxic, recalcitrant and can bioaccumulate in living organism and biomagnify in trophic chains are classified persistent …

Interactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their nitro derivatives with bilayer and monolayer models of fungal membranes Open
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants forming as byproducts in combustion processes. These compounds can become nitrated in the environment forming even more toxic nitro derivatives. Both PAHs …

Effect of lipopolymer (DSPE-PEG750) on phospholipid monolayers and bilayers differing in the structure of the polar head group Open
Phospholipid liposomes are the most popular kind of vesicles used in drug delivery due to their high biocompatibility with biomembranes. However, this type of liposomes show some limitations related with their short half-life in bloodstrea…

Dichlorobiphenyls and chlorinated benzoic acids – Emergent soil pollutants in model bacterial membranes. Langmuir monolayer and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction studies Open
The multi-decade worldwide application of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) leads to the problem of soil pollution. The production and application of PCB was banned, so the gradual decrease of their concentration in the soils was expected. O…

The composition of phospholipid model bacterial membranes determines their endurance to secretory phospholipase A2 attack – The role of cardiolipin Open
Soil bacteria are decomposer organisms crucial for the biodegradation of organic pollutants, mineralization of dead organic matter and the turnover of biogenic elements. In their environment they are constantly exposed to membrane-lytic en…

Incorporation of cyclodiene pesticides and their polar metabolites to model membranes of soil bacteria Open
The world-wide application of cyclodiene pesticides (CP) lead to severe pollution of arable land and because of the long half-lives they will be for many decades present in the soil. The only reasonable way of the elimination of these chem…

Effects of Polychlorinated Pesticides and Their Metabolites on Phospholipid Organization in Model Microbial Membranes Open
Polychlorinated pesticides (PPs) were classified as persistent organic pollutants because of their toxicity, limited degradability in the environment, bioaugmentation, and accumulation in animal tissues. PPs accumulate in the environment m…

Interactions of Long-Chain Perfluorotelomer Alcohol and Perfluorinated Hydrocarbons with Model Decomposer Membranes Open
Perfluorinated hydrocarbons and their polar derivatives are produced annually in high quantities and find multiple industrial and technological applications due to their chemical and physical durability, significant hydro- and lipophobicit…

Studies on the Behavior of Eucalyptol and Terpinen-4-ol—Natural Food Additives and Ecological Pesticides—in Model Lipid Membranes Open
Effective application of the essential oils requires detailed exploration of their mechanism of action and the origin of diverse activity of their components. In this work, the influence of eucalyptol and terpinen-4-ol on artificial membra…
