Influence of inhalation anesthetics on ion transport across a planar bilayer lipid membrane.
Ion transport from one aqueous phase (W1) to another (W2) across a planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) in the presence of inhalation anesthetics was electrochemically investigated. In the absence of inhalation anesthetics in the BLM system, no ion transport current flowed between W1 and W2 across the BLM. When inhalation anesthetics such as halothane, chloroform, diethyl ether and trichloroet...
متن کاملVoltage control of droplet interface bilayer lipid membrane dimensions.
A novel approach to control the area of anchor-free droplet interface bilayer (DIB) lipid membranes is presented. Unsupported DIB lipid membranes are formed at the interface of phospholipid-coated aqueous droplets dispensed in dodecane oil. Using electrodes inserted into the droplets, an external voltage is applied which modulates the effective DIB area. Electrical (capacitance or current) and ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial defensin peptides form voltage-dependent ion-permeable channels in planar lipid bilayer membranes.
Defensins are cationic, cysteine-rich peptides (Mr = 3500-4000) found in the cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils and macrophages. These peptides possess broad antimicrobial activity in vitro against bacteria, fungi, tumor cells, and enveloped viruses, and they are believed to contribute to the "oxygen-independent" antimicrobial defenses of neutrophils and macrophages. Pathophysiologic studies i...
متن کاملArachidonic acid-induced channel- and carrier-type ion transport across planar bilayer lipid membranes.
Transmembrane ion transport by arachidonic acid (AA) through bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) was investigated by means of electrochemical measurements to provide a basis for designing a sensor membrane. We found that AA induces a channel-type current, in addition to a carrier-type current, across planar BLMs. A linear relation between the logarithmic value of the AA concentration and the current...
متن کاملCatalytic photoinduced electron transport across a lipid bilayer mediated by a membrane-soluble electron relay.
Unidirectional photocatalytic electron transfer from a hydrophilic electron donor encapsulated in the interior of a liposome, to a hydrophilic electron acceptor on the other side of the membrane, has been achieved using the simple membrane-soluble electron relay 1-methoxy-N-methylphenazinium (MMP(+)). The total amount of photoproduct (>140 nmol) exceeds the number of moles of MMP(+) present (12...
