Jensen K, Budvytyte R, Thomas R, Wang T, Fuchs A, Balabas M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Jul; 6:29638. PMID: 27417378
Magnetic fields generated by human and animal organs, such as the heart, brain and nervous system carry information useful for biological and medical purposes. These magnetic fields are most commonly...

Mosgaard L, Zecchi K, Heimburg T, Budvytyte R
Membranes (Basel) . 2015 Oct; 5(4):495-512. PMID: 26426061
Our understanding of the electrical properties of cell membranes is derived from experiments where the membrane is exposed to a perturbation (in the form of a time-dependent voltage or current...

Mosgaard L, Zecchi K, Heimburg T
Soft Matter . 2015 Sep; 11(40):7899-910. PMID: 26324950
Biological membranes are capacitors that can be charged by applying a field across the membrane. The charges on the capacitor exert a force on the membrane that leads to electrostriction,...

Gutsmann T, Heimburg T, Keyser U, Mahendran K, Winterhalter M
Nat Protoc . 2015 Jan; 10(1):188-98. PMID: 25551663
The reconstitution of channel-forming proteins into planar lipid bilayers enables their functional characterization at very low (sometimes below attomolar) concentrations. We describe the three main approaches used in our laboratories...

Graesboll K, Sasse-Middelhoff H, Heimburg T
Biophys J . 2014 May; 106(10):2143-56. PMID: 24853743
General anesthetics are known to cause depression of the freezing point of transitions in biomembranes. This is a consequence of ideal mixing of the anesthetic drugs in the membrane fluid...

Mosgaard L, Jackson A, Heimburg T
J Chem Phys . 2013 Oct; 139(12):125101. PMID: 24089806
In an adiabatically shielded system, the total enthalpy is conserved. Enthalpy fluctuations of an arbitrarily chosen subsystem must be buffered by the remainder of the total system which serves as...

Mosgaard L, Heimburg T
Acc Chem Res . 2013 Aug; 46(12):2966-76. PMID: 23902303
In the absence of proteins, synthetic lipid membranes can display quantized conduction events for ions that are virtually indistinguishable from those of protein channels. The phenomenological similarities between typical conductances...

Blicher A, Heimburg T
PLoS One . 2013 Jul; 8(6):e65707. PMID: 23823188
Synthetic lipid membranes can display channel-like ion conduction events even in the absence of proteins. We show here that these events are voltage-gated with a quadratic voltage dependence as expected...

Villagran-Vargas E, Rodriguez-Sosa L, Hustert R, Blicher A, Laub K, Heimburg T
Synapse . 2012 Oct; 67(2):68-78. PMID: 23073909
In this work, we analyzed the interpulse interval (IPI) of doublets and triplets in single neurons of three biological models. Pulse trains with two or three spikes originate from the...

Heimburg T
Biophys J . 2012 Sep; 103(5):918-29. PMID: 23009841
Biomembranes are thin capacitors with the unique feature of displaying phase transitions in a physiologically relevant regime. We investigate the voltage and lateral pressure dependence of their capacitance close to...
