trans-2-Aminocyclohexanol as a pH-sensitive conformational switch in lipid amphiphileswz
Conformationally controlled molecular switches are central devices of molecular machines and provide a new and promising approach to materials with controllable properties. However, the concept of conformational switches has not yet been applied to the design of triggerable lipid amphiphiles. The potential advantage here is that the effect of the conformational switch in one molecule of lipid a...
متن کاملFliposomes: pH-Sensitive Liposomes Containing a trans-2-morpholinocyclohexanol-Based Lipid That Performs a Conformational Flip and Triggers an Instant Cargo Release in Acidic Medium
Incorporation of a pH-sensitive conformational switch into a lipid structure enables a drastic conformational flip upon protonation that disrupts the liposome membrane and causes rapid release of cargo specifically in areas of increased acidity. pH-sensitive liposomes containing the amphiphile (1) with trans-2-morpholinocyclohexanol conformational switch, a phospholipid, and a PEG-lipid conjuga...
متن کاملA simple and sensitive colorimetric pH meter based on DNA conformational switch and gold nanoparticle aggregation.
A simple and rapid colorimetric pH meter has been developed based on the conformational switch of i-motif DNA and non-crosslinking AuNP aggregation, the average accuracy of the nano-meter was found to be +/-0.04 pH unit across the physiological operating range.
متن کاملSensitive liposomes encoded with oligonucleotide amphiphiles: a biocompatible switch.
DNA-tagged liposomes made of DOPC specifically bind to a fluorescently labelled complementary ss-DNA with virtually no influence from the lipid bilayer despite the absence of a linker; depending on an external stimulus, either physical (temperature) or chemical (competitive complementary ON sequences), the liposomes switch between an on and off fluorescent state depending on the location of the...
