Oxidative Stress Studies on Lipid Model Membranes
The living organisms are known to be often exposed to oxidative stress due to the action of most of environmental factors: the exposure to athmospheric oxygen (O2), the pollution, the ozone and the ultraviolet radiation level increasing. The consequence of this fact is the biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids and lipids) damaging. The oxidative stress mainly affects the membranous systems of a...
متن کاملPhase behavior of lipid bilayers under tension.
Given the proposed importance of membrane tension in regulating cellular functions, we explore the effects of a finite surface tension on phase equilibrium using a molecular theory that captures the quantitative structure of the phase diagram of the tensionless DPPC/DOPC/Cholesterol lipid bilayer. We find that an increase in the surface tension decreases the temperature of the transition from l...
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...
متن کاملDistribution of Hydrophobic Probe Molecules in Lipid Bilayers. 2. Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy Study of Perylene in Vesicles
The orientational distribution and rotational dynamics of planar perylene molecules incorporated into spherical vesicles of palmitoyl-δ-9-oleoyl(16:0,18:1)phophatidylcholine (POPC) was studied using time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy. The experimental anisotropy decay curves were analyzed using a global target approach. Here, anisotropy curves obtained at six temperatures above the gel-lamel...
