Dynamical properties of phospholipid bilayers from computer simulation.
We present the results of a 10-ns molecular dynamics simulation of a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/water system. The main emphasis of the present study is on the investigation of the stability over a long time and the dynamic properties of the water/membrane system. The motion of the lipid molecules is characterized by the center of mass movement and the displacement of individual atom groups....
متن کاملProperties of water hydrating the galactolipid and phospholipid bilayers: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
Molecular dynamics simulations of 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (MGDG) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers were carried out to compare the effect of the lipid head group's chemical structure on the dynamics and orientational order of the water molecules hydrating the bilayer. The effect of the bilayers on the diffusion of water is strong for th...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of phospholipid bilayers containing rhodopsin.
Purified rhodopsin has been prepared containing less than 1.1 mol of phosphate per mol of protein. The purified rhodopsin has been incorporated into phosphatidylcholine bilayers, and the molecular interactions within the bilayers were investigated by the use of spin-labeled phosphatidylcholines. Rhodopsin appears to inhibit segmental motions of the hydrocarbon chains, an effect similar to that ...
متن کاملCritical Swelling of Phospholipid Bilayers
We reexamine a critical phenomenon of phospholipids in lamellar phases. The question is, Is the anomalous divergence in the repeat spacing near the main transition the result of a divergence of the water layer or of the lipid bilayer? X-ray diffraction of DLPC lamellae was measured in partially dehydrated conditions. Its critical behavior is much more pronounced than the previously studied DMPC...
متن کاملSlaved diffusion in phospholipid bilayers.
The translational diffusion of phospholipids in supported fluid bilayers splits into two populations when polyelectrolytes adsorb at incomplete surface coverage. Spatially resolved measurements using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy show that a slow mode, whose magnitude scales inversely with the degree of polymerization of the adsorbate, coexists with a fast mode characteristic of naked l...
