Rhinella lindae Rhinella lindae Rhinella lindae is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Colombia and known from its type locality, Murri in the municipality of Frontino, and from , both on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental, Antioquia Department. The specific name "lindae" honors , an American herpetologist. However, common name Murri beaked toad has been coined for this species. The holotype, an adult female, measures , whereas the paratype male—of unknown maturity status—measures in snout–vent length. The snout is long and acuminate. In the female, tympanic annulus is present but the tympanic membrane is
Membrane curvature several amphipathic alpha helices that allows it to partition between the hydrophobic core of the membrane and surrounding aqueous, hydrophilic environment. Another interesting characteristic of epsin and other proteins that bind to membranes is the fact that it shows high binding affinity for a fairly common membrane lipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2). Unlike other proteins that simply bend the membrane through sheer rigidity, epsin is a globular soluble protein and thus not rigid. The insertion of its helices into the membrane force the neighboring lipids of the leaflet that has been bound to expand laterally. This displacement of lipids on only
