Hydration properties and structure of phosphatidylcholine membranes in the presence of n-nonyl bromide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interaction of chemical fusogen n-nonyl bromide with a model membrane formed from phosphatidylcholine was studied using 2D-NMR spectra of heavy water and 31P-NMR proton decoupled spectra of the lipid phosphate group in multilamellar lipid dispersions. n-Nonyl bromide was found to influence the hydration layer of the model membrane. No participation of phosphatidylcholine molecules in non-bilayer configurations of the membrane was observed.

A symmetric complex [NiL2(H2O)2]Cl2, where L = 2-picolylamine was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and structural methods. Single crystal X-ray studies reveal that the Ni(II) center located in a pseudo-octahedral N4O2 environment with bidentate ligands L positioned in basal and two water molecules in the apical position. The complex is solvatochromic, ionochromic and thermochromic...

This article addresses the interplay between heat of hydration and physico-mechanical properties of calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate in the presence of retarding additives such as citric and malic acids and sodium citrate. The heat of hydration was measured using a semi-isothermal calorimeter. Results proved that citric and malic acids had superior impact on hydration and mechanical properties. Whi...

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the most expensive constituent of concrete is associated with destructive environmental effects and significant energy consumption. Thus, the use of supplementary cementitious materials such as Natural or synthetic pozzolans is a fundamental solution that affects the kinetics of hydration of cementitious materials. In this article, to evaluate...
متن کاملCharacterization of biophysical properties of single chloride channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane by channel incorporation into bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...

Animals dosed orally with nitrite (1.5 X 10(-3) mol/kg) and nonyl dimethylbenzylammonium bromide (2.9 X 10(-4) mol/kg) exhibit liver damage within two hours; cetyl trimethylammonium bromide plus nitrite was not significantly hepatotoxic. Both nonyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium bromide and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide were demethylated by rat-liver microsomal preparations; substrate concentrations...
