Biophysical properties of membrane lipids of anammox bacteria: I. Ladderane phospholipids form highly organized fluid membranes.
Anammox bacteria that are capable of anaerobically oxidizing ammonium (anammox) with nitrite to nitrogen gas produce unique membrane phospholipids that comprise hydrocarbon chains with three or five linearly condensed cyclobutane rings. To gain insight into the biophysical properties of these 'ladderane' lipids, we have isolated a ladderane phosphatidylcholine and a mixed ladderane phosphatidyl...
متن کاملProton/hydroxide conductance and permeability through phospholipid bilayer membranes.
Proton/hydroxide (H+/OH-) permeability of phospholipid bilayers is several orders of magnitude higher than alkali or halide ion permeabilities at pH 7. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanism(s) of H+/OH- conductance and permeability through planar phospholipid bilayer membranes. Membranes were formed from decane solutions of bacterial phosphatidylethanolamine, diphytanoyl ph...
متن کاملCholesterol interactions with phospholipids in membranes.
Mammalian cell membranes are composed of a complex array of glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids that vary in head-group and acyl-chain composition. In a given cell type, membrane phospholipids may amount to more than a thousand molecular species. The complexity of phospholipid and sphingolipid structures is most likely a consequence of their diverse roles in membrane dynamics, protein regula...
متن کاملProton spin-lattice relaxation of retinal rod outer segment membranes and liposomes of extracted phospholipids.
A large fraction of the phospholipid protons of bovine retinal rod outer segment (ROS) disc membrane vesicles yield well-resolved nuclear magnetic resonance lines near physiological temperature. The spin-lattice (T1) relaxation rates of the resolved sharp resonance of ROS disc membranes appear biphasic above 10 degrees C. The rate of the more rapidly relaxing component of each resonance matches...
متن کاملGyroid nanoporous membranes with tunable permeability.
Understanding the relevant permeability properties of ultrafiltration membranes is facilitated by using materials and procedures that allow a high degree of control on morphology and chemical composition. Here we present the first study on diffusion permeability through gyroid nanoporous cross-linked 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-PB) membranes with uniform pores that, if needed, can be rendered hydrop...
