Društvena predavanja

Društvo redno vabi na predavanja priznanih tujih in domačih strokovnjakov s področja biokemije in molekularne biologije. Predavanja navadno potekajo v inštitucijah v Ljubljani, vabila pa člani društva prejemajo po e-pošti. Seznam društvenih predavanj od leta 2008 naprej je spodaj. Seznam vseh društvenih predavanj od leta 1986-2008 se nahaja tukaj (iz biltena ob petindvajseti obletnici delovanja Slovenskega biokemijskega društva).

Imaging Lipids and Lipid Domains

Accumulating evidence suggests the importance of membrane lipid domains in various biological events. However, little is known about the detailed distribution of endogenous lipids, largely because of the lack of appropriate methods. In order to visualize endogenous lipids and lipid domains, we have been characterizing proteins, peptides and small molecules that recognize specific lipids or specific lipid organization.

Lysenin is an earth worm protein toxin that specifically binds sphingomyelin (SM). We have shown that the binding of lysenin to SM is dependent on the membrane distribution of SM i.e. lysenin binds SM only when the lipid forms clusters. Using cholera toxin that binds glycolipid GM1and lysenin, we have shown the heterogeneity of lipid rafts on the plasma membrane.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-derivatized cholesterol (PEG-Chol) is preferentially partitions to cholesterol-rich membrane domains. Fluorescent PEG-Chol revealed the endocytic pathway of cholesterol-rich membrane domains in living cells.

Recently we have introduced the combination of freeze-fracture replica technique with immunocytochemical labeling. With this method, one can examine lateral and transmembrane lipid distribution in biomembranes under electron microscope.
