• Bioactive Metabolites of Marine Origin Have Unusual Effects on Model Membrane Systems 

      Jakubec, Martin; Totland, Christian; Rise, Frode; Chamgordani, Elahe Jafari; Paulsen, Britt; Maes, Louis; Matheeussen, An; Gundersen, Lise-Lotte; Halskau, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Marine sponges and soft corals have yielded novel compounds with antineoplastic and antimicrobial activities. Their mechanisms of action are poorly understood, and in most cases, little relevant experimental evidence is ...
    • The biosynthesis of phospholipids is linked to the cell cycle in a model eukaryote 

      Vitova, Milada; Lanta, Vojtech; Cizkova, Maria; Jakubec, Martin; Rise, Frode; Halskau, Øyvind; Bisova, Katerina; Furse, Samuel Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The structural challenges faced by eukaryotic cells through the cell cycle are key for understanding cell viability and proliferation. We tested the hypothesis that the biosynthesis of structural lipids is linked to the ...
    • Evidence that Listeria innocua modulates its membrane’s stored curvature elastic stress, but not fluidity, through the cell cycle 

      Furse, Samuel Robert; Jakubec, Martin; Rise, Frode; Williams, Huw E.; Rees, Catherine E.D.; Halskau, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-14)
      This paper reports that the abundances of endogenous cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine halve during elongation of the Gram-positive bacterium Listeria innocua. The lyotropic phase behaviour of model lipid systems ...
