Solubilization of Dioleoylphosphatidylcholine Bilayers in Liposomes
Mixtures of iV-dodecyl-Ar,#-dimetriylamine A-oxide (DDAO) and 1,2dioleoylphosphatidyl choline (DOPC) in chloroform/methanol were evaporated, dried and hydrated in excess 2 H 2 0 . Aqueous dispersions thus prepared were ex truded through polycarbonate filter with pores of diameter 500Á These samples were studied using small-angle neutron scattering. DDAO destabilizes the bilayer m unilamellar l...
متن کاملMembrane solubilization by detergent: resistance conferred by thickness.
The commonly held model for membrane dissolution by detergents/surfactants requires lipid transport from the inner to the outer bilayer leaflet ('flip-flop'). Although applicable to many systems, it fails in cases where cross-bilayer transport of membrane components is suppressed. In this paper we investigate the mechanism for surfactant-induced solubilization of polymeric bilayers. To that end...
متن کاملWater 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 کاملElectroporation of Planar Lipid Bilayers and Membranes
Strong external electric field can destabilize membranes and induce formation of pores thus increasing membrane permeability. The phenomenon is known as membrane electroporation, sometimes referred to also as dielectric breakdown or electropermeabilization. The structural changes involving rearrangement of the phospholipid bilayer presumably lead to the formation of aqueous pores, which increas...
متن کاملDetergent-resistant, ceramide-enriched domains in sphingomyelin/ceramide bilayers.
When cell membranes are treated with Triton X-100 or other detergents at 4 degrees C, a nonsolubilized fraction can often be recovered, the "detergent-resistant membranes", that is not found when detergent treatment takes place at 37 degrees C. Detergent-resistant membranes may be related in some cases to membrane "rafts". However, several basic aspects of the formation of detergent-resistant m...
