McNally, James M., Woodbury, Dixon J., Lemos, Jose R.
The SNARE complex, involved in vesicular trafficking and exocytosis, is composed of proteins in the vesicular membrane (v-SNAREs) that intertwine with proteins of the target membrane (t-SNAREs). Our...
Franklin, Michael J., Brusilow, William S. A., Woodbury, Dixon J.
We have developed a mathematical model in concert with an assay that allows us to calculate proton (H+) flux and conductance through a single Fo of the F1Fo ATP synthase. Lipid vesicles reconstituted...

Evidence that Nystatin Channels Form at the Boundaries, Not the Interiors of Lipid Domains
Helrich, Carl S., Schmucker, Jason A., Woodbury, Dixon J.
Nystatin (nys) is an antifungal agent that preferentially forms ion channels in membranes containing the sterol, ergosterol (erg). The structure of the nystatin channel is not clear, but it is known...
The Role of Cavitation in Liposome Formation
Richardson, Eric S., Pitt, William G., Woodbury, Dixon J.
Liposome size is a vital parameter of many quantitative biophysical studies. Sonication, or exposure to ultrasound, is used widely to manufacture artificial liposomes, yet little is known about the...
Proton Transport through Influenza A Virus M2 Protein Reconstituted in Vesicles
Moffat, J. Craig, Vijayvergiya, Viksita, Gao, Philip F., Cross, Timothy A., Woodbury, Dixon J., Busath, David D.
Influenza A virus M2 protein is known to form acid-activated, proton-selective, amantadine-sensitive channels. We directly measured proton uptake in vesicles containing reconstituted M2 by monitoring...
