Water Permeability of Asymmetric Planar Lipid Bilayers
To understand how plasma membranes may limit water flux, we have modeled the apical membrane of MDCK type 1 cells. Previous experiments demonstrated that liposomes designed to mimic the inner and outer leaflet of this membrane exhibited 18-fold lower water permeation for outer leaflet lipids than inner leaflet lipids (Hill, W.G., and M.L. Zeidel. 2000. J. Biol. Chem. 275:30176-30185), confirmin...
متن کاملControl of membrane permeability in air-stable droplet interface bilayers.
Air-stable droplet interface bilayers (airDIBs) on oil-infused surfaces are versatile model membranes for synthetic biology applications, including biosensing of airborne species. However, airDIBs are subject to evaporation, which can, over time, destabilize them and reduce their useful lifetime compared to traditional DIBs that are fully submerged in oil. Here, we show that the lifetimes of ai...
متن کاملDeuterium NMR to study the surface of phospholipid bilayers
Deuterons placed specifically in the head-groups of phospholipids in bilayers were studied by H-NMR, which is a non-perturbing method for directly probing the conformation and dynamics of the deuterated segments at the bilayer surface. Information about the hydrationproperties ofphosphatidvlcholine bilayers was obtained by recording the spin-lattice (T;) relaxation times of DOPC-d. and DMPC-d9 ...
متن کاملA comment on the water permeability through planar lipid bilayers
Dear Sir: In a recent article, Finkelstein (1976) has shown that the measured water permeabil i ty th rough a leci thin-decane planar bilayer m em b ran e is similar to the calculated permeabili ty t h rou g h a sheet o f n h e x a d e c a n e 50 ,~ thick. Th a t is, the measured water permeabil i ty, Pa, was found equal to DKhc/AX, where D is the diffusion constant o f water in water, Khe is t...
متن کاملWater permeability and mechanical strength of polyunsaturated lipid bilayers.
Micropipette aspiration was used to test mechanical strength and water permeability of giant-fluid bilayer vesicles composed of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine PC lipids. Eight synthetic-diacyl PCs were chosen with 18 carbon chains and degrees of unsaturation that ranged from one double bond (C18:0/1, C18:1/0) to six double bonds per PC molecule (diC18:3). Produced by increasing pipette pre...
