Lipid Internal Dynamics Probed in Nanodiscs
Nanodiscs offer a very promising tool to incorporate membrane proteins into native-like lipid bilayers and an alternative to liposomes to maintain protein functions and protein-lipid interactions in a soluble nanoscale object. The activity of the incorporated membrane protein appears to be correlated to its dynamics in the lipid bilayer and by protein-lipid interactions. These two parameters de...
متن کاملInternal Dynamics of Dendritic Molecules Probed by Pyrene Excimer Formation
This review exposes the current poor understanding of the internal segmental chain dynamics of dendrimers in solution probed by monitoring the process of excimer formation between pyrene labels covalently attached to the chain ends of dendrimers. The review begins by covering the bases of fluorescence and the kinetics of pyrene excimer formation before describing a procedure based on the Model ...
متن کاملLipid-Bilayer Dynamics Probed by a Carbon Dot-Phospholipid Conjugate.
Elucidating the dynamic properties of membranes is important for understanding fundamental cellular processes and for shedding light on the interactions of proteins, drugs, and viruses with the cell surface. Dynamic studies of lipid bilayers have been constrained, however, by the relatively small number of pertinent molecular probes and the limited physicochemical properties of the probes. We s...
متن کاملThe photocycle and ultrafast vibrational dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid nanodiscs.
The photocycle and vibrational dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin in a lipid nanodisc microenvironment have been studied by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies. Linear absorption and circular dichroism indicate that the nanodiscs do not perturb the structure of the retinal binding pocket, while transient absorption and flash photolysis measurements show that the photocycle which underlies ...
متن کاملNMR Dynamics of Transmembrane and Intracellular Domains of p75NTR in Lipid-Protein Nanodiscs.
P75NTR is a type I integral membrane protein that plays a key role in neurotrophin signaling. However, structural data for the receptor in various functional states are sparse and controversial. In this work, we studied the spatial structure and mobility of the transmembrane and intracellular parts of p75NTR, incorporated into lipid-protein nanodiscs of various sizes and compositions, by soluti...
