Application of 31P NMR to model and biological membrane systems.
Proton, deuterium and carbon magnetic resonance techniques have been widely used to study the hydrocarbon chain region of model bilayer systems and biological membranes (for a review see :[l]). More recently, phosphorus magnetic resonance (31P NMR) has been introduced to study the polar headgroup region of membranes [2-7]. In this communication we show how 31P NMR can define an order parameter ...
متن کاملApplication of (1)H and (31)P NMR to topological description of a model of biological membrane fusion: topological description of a model of biological membrane fusion.
The process of biological membrane fusion can be analysed by topological methods. Mathematical analysis of the fusion process of vesicles indicated two significant facts: the formation of an inner, transient structure (hexagonal phase - H(II)) and a translocation of some lipids within the membrane. This shift had a vector character and only occurred from the outer to the inner layer. Model memb...
متن کاملPolyethylene Glycol Repairs Damaged Membrane; Biophysical Application of Artificial Planar Bilayer to Mimic Biological Membrane
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a hydrophilic polymer, known to be capable to fuse numerous single cells in vitro, to join the membranes of adjacent neurons and giant invertebrate axons, and to seal damaged neural membranes. The molecular mechanism of the action of PEG is still unknown. It is believed that PEG dehydrates membranes and enables their structural components to resolve and rearrange in...
متن کاملBiological Membrane Mimetics to Study Radiation Induced Damages by NMR Spectroscopy: Application to Study Erythrocyte Membranes
The role of biological membranes as a target in biological radiation damage remains unclear. In the present article, we show that the structural, biochemical and biophysical changes of a simple biological membrane, i.e. human erythrocyte membranes, which is altered after exposure, could be studied by membrane mimetics and conventional NMR spectrometers.
متن کاملBiological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This contribution will first p...
