Fluidity of liposome membranes doped with metalloporphyrins: an ESR study.
Changes in membrane fluidity of porphyrin-doped liposomes have been investigated to assess the kinetics of the fluidization process. Metal complexes of tert-butylphenyl meso-substituted porphyrin, containing ions of Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu, were used as dopants. Liposomes were obtained by sonication of hen egg yolk lecithin (EYL). Electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) was applied using two sp...
متن کاملThe influence of selected amino acids on the dynamic properties of the liposome membranes: ESR study
Amino acids are bipolar compounds with carboxylic and amine ends. The former one undergoes deprotonation in basic solution while the latter one is protonated in acidic media. Thus, neutral amino acids and zwiterions are present in the aqueous environment. Besides, they interact strongly with charged parts of other molecules and form strong intermolecular H-bonds. The association and interaction...
متن کاملStructure of DNA-cationic liposome complexes: DNA intercalation in multilamellar membranes in distinct interhelical packing regimes.
Cationic liposomes complexed with DNA (CL-DNA) are promising synthetically based nonviral carriers of DNA vectors for gene therapy. The solution structure of CL-DNA complexes was probed on length scales from subnanometer to micrometer by synchrotron x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy. The addition of either linear lambda-phage or plasmid DNA to CLs resulted in an unexpected topological tr...
متن کاملA Multifrequency ESR Study of the Complex Dynamics of Membranes
A combined 250 and 9 GHz ESR study was performed on membrane vesicles composed of pure lipid (DPPC) and of DPPC:cholesterol in a 1:1 molar ratio using the end chain labeled lipid, 16-PC. It is shown that the 250 GHz spectra represent a “fast time-scale” such that the overall restricted motion of the lipid in the membrane is frozen out, but it is sensitive to the internal dynamics of the end cha...
متن کاملESR study of the liposome membrane physical parameters in the heating-cooling cycles.
Changes of dynamic and structural parameters of egg yolk lecithin (EYL) liposome membranes in the heating-cooling cycles have been studied using the ESR spin probe method. The investigations were conducted in the range of temperatures from -18 degrees C to +60 degrees C. It has been found that in the range of temperatures -15 degrees C to +45 degrees C in both the heating and the cooling run th...
