Variation of thermal conductivity of DPPC lipid bilayer membranes around the phase transition temperature
Given their amphiphilic nature and chemical structure, phospholipids exhibit a strong thermotropic and lyotropic phase behaviour in an aqueous environment. Around the phase transition temperature, phospholipids transform from a gel-like state to a fluid crystalline structure. In this transition, many key characteristics of the lipid bilayers such as structure and thermal properties alter. In th...
متن کاملMolecular dynamic studies of transportan interacting with a DPPC lipid bilayer.
Translocation of peptides through cellular membranes is a fundamental problem in developing antimicrobial peptides and in drug delivery. There is a class of peptides, known as cell-penetrating peptides, that are able to penetrate membranes without disrupting them. They can carry pharmacological compounds, thus a promising strategy for drug delivery. The physical mechanisms that facilitate trans...
متن کاملDiosgenin hemihydrate
Diosgenin [or (22R,25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol] is the starting material of the Marker degradation, a cheap semi-synthesis of progesterone, which has been designated as an Inter-national Historic Chemical Landmark. Thus far, a single X-ray structure for diosgenin is known, namely its dimethyl sulfoxide solvate [Zhang et al. (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E61, o2324-o2325]. We have now determined the structu...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of DPPC bilayer in DMSO.
We performed molecular dynamics simulations on dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) system that has the same lipid:solvent weight ratio as in our previous simulation done on DPPC/water. We did not observe a large change in the size of DPPC membrane when the solvent was changed from water to DMSO. Also, we did not observe that a large number of DMSO molecules is permeat...
متن کاملLimited perturbation of a DPPC bilayer by fluorescent lipid probes: a molecular dynamics study.
The properties of lipid bilayer nanometer-scale domains could be crucial for understanding cell membranes. Fluorescent probes are often used to study bilayers, yet their effects on host lipids are not well understood. We used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate perturbations in a fluid DPPC bilayer upon incorporation of three indocarbocyanine probes: DiI-C18:0, DiI-C18:2, or DiI-C12:0...
