Dehydration of solute-lipid systems: hydration forces analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sorption isotherms were obtained for a range of lipid/sugar/water mixtures. These were analysed using a simple hydration forces formalism. The results demonstrate that this simple analysis can be used to estimate dehydration parameters for these relatively complex systems. This in turn provides some insight into the location and role of sugars in the hydration behaviour of lipid systems. The relevance of these results to the phase behaviour of lipid/sugar mixtures during dehydration are discussed.

Membrane behaviour in seeds and other systems at low water content: the various effects of solutes
A common feature of desiccation-tolerant organisms, such as orthodox seeds, is the presence of large quantities of sugars, especially diand oligosaccharides. These sugars may be one component of the suite of adaptations that allow anhydrobiotes to survive the loss of most of their cellular water. This paper describes the physical effects of dehydration on cellular ultrastructure, with particula...
متن کاملColloids and Surfaces A , 129 , 425 - 434 ( 1997 ) Freezing - induced hydration forces between phosphatidylcholine bilayers - the effect of osmotic pressure
Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure the freezing behaviour of lamellar phases of phosphatidylcholine in water and in solutions of sorbitol. Both solute and solvent were deuterated in different series of experiments to allow the calculation of the partitioning of solute and solvent molecules between the lamellar phase and unfrozen bulk solution. Sorbitol, as well as water...
متن کاملEffects of Short-Chain Alcohols and Pyridine on the Hydration Forces between Silica Surfaces.
Forces between fully hydroxalated silica surfaces were measured using an atomic force microscope. The measurements were conducted in Nanopure water and in solutions containing various organic solutes such as methanol, ethanol, trifluoroethanol (TFE), and pyridine. The results obtained in Nanopure water showed a strong short-range repulsive force at distances below 15 nm. This non-DLVO force can...
متن کاملLocation of sugars in multilamellar membranes at low hydration
Severe dehydration is lethal for most biological species. However, there are a number of organisms which have evolved mechanisms to avoid damage during dehydration. One of these mechanisms is the accumulation of small solutes (e.g. sugars), which have been shown to preserve membranes by inhibiting deleterious phase changes at low hydration. Specifically, sugars reduce the gel to fluid phase tra...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effect of phosphate agent type on setting time, flowability, hydration and dehydration of magnesium phosphate cement.
Magnesium phosphate cements (MPC) are the most developed kind of chemically bonded ceramics which form through the reaction of magnesium oxide and soluble phosphate salts. Therefore, study of different magnesium phosphate cement systems is considered important according to the type of phosphate agent used. In this study, effect of mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), and ...
