Electric field-induced critical demixing in lipid bilayer membranes.
Electric fields can induce lateral reorganization of lipids in fluid bilayer membranes. The resulting concentration profiles readily are observed in planar-supported bilayers by epifluorescence microscopy. When a fluorescently labeled lipid was used to probe the field-induced separation of cardiolipin from egg-phosphatidylcholine, an enhanced sensitivity to the electric field was observed that ...
متن کاملPhloretin-induced changes in ion transport across lipid bilayer membranes
Phloretin, the aglucone derivative of phlorizin, increases cation conductance and decreases anion conductance in lipid bilayer membranes. In this paper we present evidence that phloretin acts almost exclusively by altering the permeability of the membrane interior and not by modifying the partition of the permanent species between the membrane and the bulk aqueous phases. We base our conclusion...
متن کاملAnthrax toxin-induced rupture of artificial lipid bilayer membranes.
We demonstrate experimentally that anthrax toxin complexes rupture artificial lipid bilayer membranes when isolated from the blood of infected animals. When the solution pH is temporally acidified to mimic that process in endosomes, recombinant anthrax toxin forms an irreversibly bound complex, which also destabilizes membranes. The results suggest an alternative mechanism for the translocation...
متن کاملPorphyrins for Probing Electrical Potential Across Lipid Bilayer Membranes by Second Harmonic Generation**
Neurons communicate by using electrical signals, mediated by transient changes in the voltage across the plasma membrane. Optical techniques for visualizing these transmembrane potentials could revolutionize the field of neurobiology by allowing the spatial profile of electrical activity to be imaged in real time with high resolution, along individual neurons or groups of neurons within their n...
متن کاملChloride Transport in Porous Lipid Bilayer Membranes
This paper describes dissipative Cl(-) transport in "porous" lipid bilayer membranes, i.e., cholesterol-containing membranes exposed to 1-3 x 10(-7) M amphotericin B. P(DCl) (cm.s(-1)), the diffusional permeability coefficient for Cl(-), estimated from unidirectional (36)Cl(-) fluxes at zero volume flow, varied linearly with the membrane conductance (Gm, ohm(-1).cm(-2)) when the contributions o...
