Characterization of model bile using fluorescence energy transfer from dehydroergosterol to dansylated lecithin.
Fluorescence energy transfer from dehydroergosterol (DHE) to dansylated lecithin (DL) was used to characterize lecithin-cholesterol vesicles in the presence of the bile salt, sodium taurocholate. At lipid concentrations approximating physiological levels, exposure of fluorescently labeled vesicles to the bile salt led to a dose-dependent increase in the DHE-to-DL fluorescence ratio during the f...
متن کاملX-ray and fluorescence studies on phospholipid bilayers. IX. Interactions with pentachlorophenol.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a widely used and highly toxic fungicide. Its toxicity is mainly expressed at the cell membrane level. It is, therefore, of interest to test its ability to alter the lipid bilayer organization. The present study was performed by X-ray diffraction techniques on dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayers and by fluoresc...
متن کاملFluorescence spectra of cardiac myosin and in vivo experiment: studies on daunorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity
Objective(s):The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction of daunorubicin (DNR) and cardiac myosin (CM) and the changes in mice hearts to exhibit DNR-induced cardiotoxicity . Materials and Methods:The interaction between DNR and CM was expressed using fluorescence quenching at pH 4.0-9.0 and 15-37 °C. DNR-induced cardiotoxicity was studied using in vivo experiment. Forty grou...
متن کاملStructural studies of polymer-cushioned lipid bilayers.
The structure of softly supported polymer-cushioned lipid bilayers, prepared in two different ways at the quartz-solution interface, were determined using neutron reflectometry. The polymer cushion consisted of a thin layer of branched, cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), and the bilayers were formed by adsorption of small unilamellar dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles. When vesicles ...
متن کاملDynamic structure of lipid bilayers studied by nanosecond fluorescence techniques.
Molecular motions in liposomes of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) were studied by nanosecond fluorescence techniques. As a fluorescent probe for the hydrocarbon region, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was used. Time courses of fluorescence intensity IT(t) and emission anisotropy r(t) of DPH embedded in DPPC liposomes were measured at various temperatures. The value of the fluorescenc...
