    • 2015 July 6, “Development of a Novel Tetravalent Synthetic Peptide That Binds to Phosphatidic Acid”, in PLOS ONE, →DOI:
      Kinetic analysis of the interaction between PAB-TP and the membranes containing 10 mol% of PA showed that PAB-TP associated with PA with a low dissociation constant of K D = 38 ± 5 nM. Coexistence of cholesterol or PE with PA in the membrane enhanced the PAB-TP binding to PA by increasing the ionization of the phosphomonoester head group as well as by changing the microenvironment of PA molecules in the membrane.
