	Latex Biomembrane with Polylysine - WSAVA 2004 Congress
		The purpose of this research was study the effects of latex biomembrane with polylysine graft on scleral healing of rabbits submitted to lamellar and penetrating sclerectomies.
		Latex biomembrane was prepared by Department of Biochemistry of Medicine College of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo.
		The use of latex biomembrane with polylysine represents a useful alternative to scleral reconstruction and could be an alternative graft to repair scleral lesions in animals and humans when donor tissue is not available.

		The general methodology for the design of biomembrane penetrating molecules consists of simple hydrophobic modification of these compounds.
		Several essential problems accompany this traditional approach are: 1) Non-specific binding of these conjugates, 2) increased toxicity in the case of modification by steroids, 3) unpredictable balance between the levels of the undesired pre-uptake and the necessary fast post-uptake degradation.
		In terms of structural features, the proposed conjugates may be represented as peptides which contain biomembrane active peptides in the N-terminus and a carried molecule in the C-terminus of the peptide chain.

		A scanning electrochemical microscope is used to position the sensors very close to a biomembrane surface and measure their response simultaneously.
		We are interested in miniaturization of the sensors for biomembrane studies (Figure 1) and in improving and understanding their response properties for clinical and environmental analysis.
		A special emphasis will be on comprehensive understanding of diffusion and other kinetic processes at microenvironments such as intra- and extracellular spaces, biomembrane surfaces, and microelectrodes.

		Our studies are focused on electrochemistry and analytical applications of charge- and molecular-transport processes at liquid/liquid interfaces, such as water/organic solution, water/polymer membrane, and biomembrane interfaces.
		It is well known that biomembrane surface is laterally highly heterogeneous in nanometer scale.
		As the response indicates how fast the transport processes are at the local position, a plot of the response against the x,y-positions gives a chemical image of the membrane surface.

		The design of a new generation of materials based on biomembrane components holds promise in diverse areas including optical recording media, chemical sensors, nanometer lithography, energy transducers, and enzyme catalysis.
		A variety of membrane proteins, including bacteriorhodopsin, rhodopsin, and acetylcholine receptor, exhibit active properties such as energy transduction, active and passive transport, chemical sensing, voltage channel gating, signal transduction, and self-assembly which could find important uses in such materials.
		The group also demonstrated recently that self-assembled biomembranes can be used as molecular templates for nanostructure material fabrication.

		This book presents a series of Chapters discussing how a combination of molecular biological, biophysical and theoretical (molecular modelling) techniques are helping us to obtain a much clearer picture of biomembrane structure.
		After an introductory Chapter on the Principles of membrane Protein Structure, the book is divided into two sections; one dealing with crystallographic approaches and the other non-crystallographic approaches such as NMR, AFM, SPR and FTIR spectroscopy.
		It provides an up to date coverage of the developments in the field of biomembranes with particular emphasis on membrane proteins.

		Our research seeks to reveal biomembrane structural features leading to two aspects of membra ne function: the role of platelet membranes in blood coagulation and the involvement of bilayer micro structures in cell membrane fusion.
		Thrombin (IIa), a key serine protease and regulatory molecule in blood coagulation, circulate s in blood as an inactive zymogen, prothrombin (II).
		The results should suggest m echanisms by which membrane fusion is controlled in vivo, perhaps through the modulation by specific cellular proteins and enzymes.
