Phase separation in lipid membranes.
Cell membranes show complex behavior, in part because of the large number of different components that interact with each other in different ways. One aspect of this complex behavior is lateral organization of components on a range of spatial scales. We found that lipid-only mixtures can model the range of size scales, from approximately 2 nm up to microns. Furthermore, the size of compositiona...
متن کاملINTERACTION OF GLOBULAR PROTEINS WITH MIXED LIPID VESICLES A thermodynamic study of the lipid lateral phase separation
Vesicles of charged (Phosphatidic Acid) and neutral (Phosphatidylcholine) lipids were used as membranes model to examine the lateral phase separation induced by a globular protein, namely lysozyme. The ability of the positively charged protein, adsorbed onto vesicles surfaces, to induce the formation of micro-domains richer in the charged lipid component has been investigated by calorimetric me...
متن کاملCharge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes.
Phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of unsaturated neutral lipid, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), saturated neutral lipid, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), unsaturated charged lipid, d...
متن کاملPhase-separation transitions in asymmetric lipid bilayers
Morphological transitions of phase separation associated with the asymmetry of lipid composition were investigated using micrometer-sized vesicles of lipid bilayers made from a lipid mixture. The complete macro-phase-separated morphology undergoes a transition to a micro-phase-separation-like morphology via a lorate morphology as a metastable state. The transition leads to the emergence of mono...
متن کاملLateral phase separation in mixtures of lipids and cholesterol systems
– In an effort to understand “rafts” in biological membranes, we propose phenomenological models for saturated and unsaturated lipid mixtures, and lipid-cholesterol mixtures. We consider simple couplings between the local composition and internal membrane structure, and their influence on transitions between liquid and “gel” membrane phases. Assuming that the gel transition temperature of the s...
