Thermodynamic characterization of bilayer- nonbilayer phase transitions of phospholipid membranes
We determined thermodynamic properties of phase transitions between bilayer and nonbilayer for phosphatidylcholines with saturated hydrophobic chains (C18:0-PC, O-C18:0PC) and phosphatidylethanolamines with unsaturated ones (C18:1(cis)-PE, C18:1(trans)-PE) by means of calorimetry under ambient pressure and optical measurements under high pressure. The thermodynamic quantities of the transitions...
متن کاملSingle-molecule height measurements on microsomal cytochrome P450 in nanometer-scale phospholipid bilayer disks.
The architecture of membrane proteins in their native environment of the phospholipid bilayer is critical for understanding physiological function, but has been difficult to realize experimentally. In this communication we describe the incorporation of a membrane-anchored protein into a supported phospholipid bilayer. Cytochrome P450 2B4 solubilized and purified from the hepatic endoplasmic ret...
متن کاملCell-free synthesis of a functional G protein-coupled receptor complexed with nanometer scale bilayer discs
BACKGROUND G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome and the richest source of targets for the pharmaceutical industry. A major limitation to characterizing GPCRs has been the difficulty in developing high-level heterologous expression systems that are cost effective. Reasons for these difficulties include inefficient transport and...
متن کاملNanometer Scale Hard/Soft Bilayer Magnetic Antidots
The effect of arrays of nanometer scale pores on the magnetic properties of thin films has been analyzed. Particularly, we investigated the influence of the out-of-plane magnetization component created by the nanopores on the in-plane magnetic behavior of patterned hard/soft magnetic thin films in antidot morphology. Its influence on the coupling in Co/Py bilayers of few tens of nanometer thick...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions of polar molecules in bilayer systems.
We investigate the quantum phase transitions of bosonic polar molecules in a two-dimensional double layer system. We show that an interlayer bound state of dipoles (dimers) can be formed when the dipole strength is above a critical value, leading to a zero-energy resonance in the interlayer s-wave scattering channel. In the positive detuning side of the resonance, the strong repulsive interlaye...
