Dynamic structure of vesicle-bound melittin in a variety of lipid chain lengths by solid-state NMR.
Solid-state 31P- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded in melittin-lecithin vesicles composed of 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) or 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). Highly ordered magnetic alignments were achieved with the membrane surface parallel to the magnetic field above the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature (Tc). Using these magneticall...
متن کاملStructure and mechanism of beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptides in lipid bilayers from solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The membrane-bound structure, lipid interaction, and dynamics of the arginine-rich beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide PG-1 as studied by solid-state NMR are highlighted here. A variety of solid-state NMR techniques, including paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, (1)H and (19)F spin diffusion, dipolar recoupling distance experiments, and 2D anisotropic-isotropic correlation experiments, are used...
متن کاملStructural characterization of Ca(2+)-ATPase-bound phospholamban in lipid bilayers by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Phospholamban (PLN) regulates cardiac contractility by modulation of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) activity. While PLN and SERCA1a, an isoform from skeletal muscle, have been structurally characterized in great detail, direct information about the conformation of PLN in complex with SERCA has been limited. We used solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy to deduce structural p...
متن کاملEntropy-driven softening of fluid lipid bilayers by alamethicin.
Using dilatometry and small-angle X-ray diffraction, we have studied under bulk conditions the structural changes and elastic response of dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayers to alamethicin. With increasing peptide concentration, we found a progressive thinning of the membrane. However, in contrast to previously published reports, this thinning exhibits exponential behavior. Furthermore, an in...
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...
