Organization and interaction of cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine in model bilayer membranes.
The molecular organization of sterols in liposomes of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) at 37 degrees C is examined by utilizing the fluorescent analogue of cholesterol cholesta-5,7,9-trien-3 beta-ol (cholestatrienol). (1) Cholestatrienol is shown to be indistinguishable from native cholesterol in terms of its ability to condense POPC, as determined by (i) pressure/area st...
متن کاملWater order profiles on phospholipid/cholesterol membrane bilayer surfaces
Water is pivotal in the stabilization of macromolecular biological structures, although the dynamic ensemble structure of water near to molecular surfaces has yet to be fully understood. We show, through molecular simulation and fluorescence measurements, that water at the membrane surface is substantially more ordered than bulk water, due to a loss of hydrogen bonding between water molecules, ...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Bilayer polarity and its thermal dependency in the l(o) and l(d) phases of binary phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol mixtures.
Diverse variations in membrane properties are observed in binary phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol mixtures. These mixtures are nonideal, displaying single or phase coexistence, depending on chemical composition and other thermodynamic parameters. When compared with pure phospholipid bilayers, there are changes in water permeability, bilayer thickness and thermomechanical properties, molecular pa...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic acid reduces membrane fluidity, inhibits cholesterol domain formation, and normalizes bilayer width in atherosclerotic-like model membranes.
Cholesterol crystalline domains characterize atherosclerotic membranes, altering vascular signaling and function. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce membrane lipid peroxidation and subsequent cholesterol domain formation. We evaluated non-peroxidation-mediated effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), other TG-lowering agents, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and other long-chain fatty acids on membrane fluid...
