Saponin Interactions with Model Membrane Systems - Langmuir Monolayer Studies, Hemolysis and Formation of ISCOMs.
Saponins are used in medicine due to their pharmacological and immunological effects. To better understand interactions of saponins with model membranes and natural membranes of, for example, erythrocytes, Langmuir film balance experiments are well established. For most saponins, a strong interaction with cholesterol was demonstrated in dependence of both the aglycone part and the sugar moietie...
متن کاملInteractions of a Tetrazine Derivative with Biomembrane Constituents: A Langmuir Monolayer Study.
Tetrazine (Tz) is expected to be used for bioimaging and as an analytical reagent. It is known to react very fast with trans-cyclooctene under water in organic chemistry. Here, to understand the interaction between Tz and biomembrane constituents, we first investigated the interfacial behavior of a newly synthesized Tz derivative comprising a C18-saturated hydrocarbon chain (rTz-C18) using a La...
متن کاملEffects of cardiolipin on membrane morphology: a Langmuir monolayer study.
Cardiolipin (CL) is a complex phospholipid that is specifically found in mitochondria. Owing to the association of the CL levels with mitochondrial physiopathology such as in Parkinson's disease, we study the molecular effect of CL on membrane organization using model Langmuir monolayer, fluorescence microscopy, and x-ray reflectivity. We find that the liquid-expanded phase in membranes increas...
متن کاملDangling OD confined in a Langmuir monolayer.
Novel structural features of water confined in lipid Langmuir monolayers are revealed. Using vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy at the air/D2O/monolayer interface, dangling OD bonds were investigated. Upon increasing the monolayer surface coverage, the dangling OD stretching mode showed a marked frequency red-shift as well as spectral structure. Furthermore, the dangling OD was f...
متن کاملA Langmuir approach on monolayer interactions to investigate surface active peptides
– The Langmuir Blodgett apparatus provides a versatile system for studying the interfacial properties of peptides and peptide-membrane interactions under controlled conditions. Using amphiphilic α-helical peptides to highlight studies undertaken, here we discuss the use of this system to provide information on the surface activity of peptides and describe the insights these studies give into bi...
