Headgroup engineering in mechanosensitive membrane probes.
Systematic headgroup engineering yields planarizable push-pull flipper probes that are ready for use in biology - stable, accessible, modifiable -, and affords non-trivial insights into chalcogen-bond mediated mechanophore degradation and fluorescence enhancement.
متن کاملThe Unsaturated Fatty Acids of Egg Lecithin
The work on liver lecithins by Levene and Ingvaldsen’ and by Levene and Simms,z has shown the existence of lecithins which are distinguished from one another by the nature of their unsaturated fatty acids. There were isolated from liver lecithin, two unsaturated fatty acids, oleic and arachidonic, as well as two saturated acids, palmitic and stearic. Hence on the basis of the present findings i...
متن کاملHeadgroup organization and hydration of methylated phosphatidylethanolamines in Langmuir monolayers.
Subtle differences in the molecular conformation of fully hydrated phospholipids, and in their interaction with the water reservoir, were assessed as functions of headgroup methylation with surface-sensitive X-ray scattering. To achieve such a structural and functional comparison, diacylphosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) and their mono-, di- and trimethylated (diacylphosphatidylcholine, PC) deriva...
متن کاملInterplay between hydration water and headgroup dynamics in lipid bilayers.
In this study, the interplay between water and lipid dynamics has been investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). The multilamellar lipid bilayer system 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) has been studied over a broad temperature range at three different water contents: about 3, 6, and 9 water molecules per lipid mol...
متن کاملOsmotic shrinkage of giant egg-lecithin vesicles.
Osmotic shrinkage of giant egg-lecithin vesicles was observed by phase-contrast microscopy. The vesicles remained or became spherical when shrinking. Small and thick-walled vesicles formed visible fingers attached to the sphere. The water permeability of the single bilayer was found to be 41 micrometers/s. A variety of observations indicate that osmosis induces a parallel lipid flow between the...
