Xanthene-dye-labelled phosphatidylethanolamines as probes of interfacial pH. Studies in phospholipid vesicles.
We have been developing the use of plasma-membrane-bound fluorescent probes to measure the pH values at the surfaces of living chondrocytes. For this purpose, three lipophilic pH indicators were made by covalently binding the xanthene dyes fluorescein, eosin or dichlorofluorescein to the amino group of phosphatidylethanolamine. The probes were incorporated into phospholipid vesicles and the eff...
متن کاملPhospholipid Vesicles in Media for Tribological Studies against Live Cartilage.
Introduction Pre-clinical testing of hemiarthroplasty devices requires that the tribological conditions present in vivo with live cartilage be closely duplicated. A current limitation in the tribological testing of live cartilage involves the use of cell-culture media as lubricant. Study Aim to develop and test a new hyaluronan-phospholipid based medium (HA-phospholipid medium) that combines ...
متن کاملMechanistic studies of lantibiotic-induced permeabilization of phospholipid vesicles.
Nisin is a cationic polycyclic bacteriocin secreted by some lactic acid bacteria. Nisin has previously been shown to permeabilize liposomes. The interaction of nisin was analyzed with liposomes prepared of the zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the anionic phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Nisin induces the release of 6-carboxyfluorescein and other small anionic fluorescent dyes from PC liposom...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate. Interfacial activation by phospholipid vesicles.
The mechanism of action of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase (LpL) was studied with a water-soluble substrate of p-nitrophenylbutyrate (PNPB). The calculated maximal velocity ( Vmm) and Michaelis constant (Km) values at 37 "C were 2.0 pmol of p-nitrophenol released/min/ mg of LpL and 0.52 mM, respectively. The addition of phospholipid vesicles enhanced the rate of PNPB hydrolysis by LpL. In the pr...
متن کاملthe effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies
a large number of single research studies on the effects of strategy-based instruction (sbi) in teaching english as a foreign or second language has been conducted so far. however, the lack of a comprehensive meta-analysis targeting the effectiveness of english language sbi is observed. moreover, the findings of experimental studies regarding the context of the english language, proficiency lev...
