Lateral pressure profiles in lipid monolayers.
We have used molecular dynamics simulations with coarse-grained and atomistic models to study the lateral pressure profiles in lipid monolayers. We first consider simple oillair and oil/water interfaces, and then proceed to lipid monolayers at air/water and oil/water interfaces. The results are qualitatively similar in both atomistic and coarse-grained models. The lateral pressure profile in a ...
متن کاملComponents of the lateral pressure in lipid bilayers deduced from HII phase dimensions.
The components of the effective internal lateral pressure arising from the lipid headgroups and the lipid chains in bilayer membranes are deduced from the conditions for interfacial equilibrium and the spontaneous bending moments within the component monolayers. The latter are obtained from the intrinsic curvature that is deduced from X-ray diffraction measurements on the corresponding inverted...
متن کاملPressure-induced ordering in mixed-lipid bilayers.
Isothermal application of hydrostatic pressure to liquid crystalline phospholipid bilayers increases chain segment orientational order and thus chain extension. By using pressure to perturb chain order in single-component bilayers and bilayers comprising a binary mixture of lipids, it is possible to compare the relative influences of intrinsic lipid properties and collective bilayer properties ...
متن کاملSurface sticking and lateral diffusion of lipids in supported bilayers.
The diffusion of fluorescently labeled lipids in supported bilayers is studied using two different methods: Z-scan fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (z-scan FCS) and two-focus fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (2f-FCS). It is found that the data can be fitted consistently only when taking into account partial sticking of the labeled lipids to the supporting glass surface. A kinetic reac...
متن کاملEffect of Ramadan Fasting on Blood Pressure and Lipid Profiles
Introduction: Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims during which avoid from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse for about 13-17 hours. The aim of this study was surveying the effects of Islamic fasting in Ramadan on lipid profile and blood pressure.Materials and Methods: we designed this study in two phases, a week before and a week after Ramadan month. Eighty nine healthy subjects with 20-50...
