Theoretical study of protein--lipid interactions in bilayer membranes.
An analysis is given for the perturbation of the order and composition of lipid bilayers near an intrinsic membrane protein. Two cases are examined: the protein influences the lipid order (i.e., "fluidity"), and the protein associates with one component of a lipid mixture preferentially. The order perturbation is studied as a function of temperature and lateral pressure by using Landau--de Genn...
متن کاملTheory of protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions in bilayer membranes.
A model for protein-lipid interactions in bilayer membranes where the proteins are very dilute is extended to higher protein concentration, where appreciable lipid-mediated protein-protein interactions occur. It is found that proteins may change the lipid phase transition temperature and that they weaken the phase transition. There exists a critical protein concentration above which the sharp l...
متن کاملEngineering Lipid Bilayer Membranes for Protein Studies
Lipid membranes regulate the flow of nutrients and communication signaling between cells and protect the sub-cellular structures. Recent attempts to fabricate artificial systems using nanostructures that mimic the physiological properties of natural lipid bilayer membranes (LBM) fused with transmembrane proteins have helped demonstrate the importance of temperature, pH, ionic strength, adsorpti...
متن کاملLipid-protein interactions in membranes.
The interactions of lipids with integral and peripheral proteins can be studied in reconstituted and natural membranes using spin label electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The ESR spectra reveal a reduction in mobility of the spin-labelled lipid species, and in certain cases evidence is obtained for a partial penetration of the peripheral proteins into the membrane. The latter may be re...
متن کاملProtein folding in membranes: determining energetics of peptide-bilayer interactions.
Although the problem of the folding of soluble proteins continues to resist solution, we at least have a strong understanding of the general thermodynamic principles1,2 and have available a wealth of thermodynamic data.3-5 The study of membrane protein folding and stability is much less advanced: Some general principles are emerging,6-9 but the amount of thermodynamic data available remains qui...
