Interaction of poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated phospholipids with supported lipid membranes and their influence on protein adsorption
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied real-time interaction between poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated phospholipids (PEG-lipids) and a supported lipid membrane by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy to understand dynamic behaviors of PEG-lipids on living cell membranes. Supported lipid membranes formed on a hydrophobic surface were employed as a model of living cell membrane. We prepared three kinds of PEG-lipids that carried alkyl chains of different lengths for SPR measurements and also performed fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to study the influence of acyl chain length on dynamics on the supported membrane. PEG-lipids were uniformly anchored to lipid membranes with high fluidity without clustering. Incorporation and dissociation rates of PEG-lipids into supported membranes strongly depended on the length of acyl chains; longer acyl chains reduced the incorporation rate and the dissociation rate of PEG-lipid. Furthermore, protein adsorption experiment with bovine serum albumin indicated that PEG modification prevented the adsorption of bovine serum albumin on such supported membrane.

Effect of Ethylene Oxide Functional Groups in PEBA-CNT Membranes on CO2/CH4 Mixed Gas Separation
Poly (ether-block-amide) /poly (ethylene glycol)/ carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membranes have been successfully fabricated using solvent evaporation method to determine the effect of ethylene oxide groups on the performance of produced membranes. The effects of CNTs (2-8 wt%) and PEG (up to 50 wt%)were investigated in both single and mixed gas test setup in different temperature and pressure. ...
متن کاملMeasurements of interbilayer forces and protein adsorption on uncharged lipid bilayers displaying poly(ethylene glycol) chains.
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-stabilized liposomes were recently shown to exhibit differences in cell uptake that were linked to the liposome charge. To determine the differences and similarities between charged and uncharged PEG-decorated liposomes, we directly measured the forces between two supported, neutral bilayers with terminally grafted PEG chains. The measurements were performed with the...

A novel strategy to construct biomimetic assemblies of bio macromolecules on supported membranes is presented. It is based on the anchoring of a 15 nm ball-like recombinant protein, lumazine synthase, on a phospholipid membrane. These proteins have functional groups pointing in solution. They are coupled to phospholipids in solution exhibiting different functional headgroups like biotin and Ni ...
