Penetration and saturation of lysozyme in phospholipid bilayers.
We show that the combination of X-ray reflectivity, tryptophan fluorescence spectrum, and fluorescence quenching by bromine provides a useful tool to probe the location of lysozyme in lipid bilayers. To this end, we prepare lamellar complexes composed of phospholipids and lysozyme on solid surfaces using a solution-casting method. The proteins lie spontaneously between adjacent bilayers in the ...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of PLGA nanospheres loaded with inactivated influenza virus, CpG-ODN and Quillaja saponin
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was preparation and evaluation of PLGA nanospheres containing the influenza virus and different adjuvants, Quillaja saponin (QS) and CpG-ODN. Materials and Methods: Nanospheres were prepared using the double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The morphological and physicochemical properties were studied by scanning electron microscopy...
متن کاملEffect of hydrostatic pressure on water penetration and rotational dynamics in phospholipid-cholesterol bilayers.
The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the lipid bilayer hydration, the mean order parameter, and rotational dynamics of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) cholesterol vesicles has been studied by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy up to 1500 bar. Whereas the degree of hydration in the lipid headgroup and inter...
متن کاملCritical Swelling of Phospholipid Bilayers
We reexamine a critical phenomenon of phospholipids in lamellar phases. The question is, Is the anomalous divergence in the repeat spacing near the main transition the result of a divergence of the water layer or of the lipid bilayer? X-ray diffraction of DLPC lamellae was measured in partially dehydrated conditions. Its critical behavior is much more pronounced than the previously studied DMPC...
متن کاملBinding and disruption of phospholipid bilayers by supramolecular RNA complexes.
In an RNA world, RNAs would have regulated traffic through normally impermeable bilayer membranes. Using selection-amplification we previously found RNAs that bind stably and increase the ionic conductance of phospholipid membranes at high Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) concentrations. Now selection in reduced divalents yields RNAs that bind phosphatidylcholine liposomes under conditions closer to physiolog...
