Location of [60]fullerene incorporation in lipid membranes.
We confirmed that most C(60) fullerene units are located in the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer membrane in water-soluble lipid membrane incorporated C(60) (LMIC(60)) complexes using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and (13)C NMR spectra in the presence of radical labels.
متن کاملEfficient photocleavage of DNA utilising water-soluble lipid membrane-incorporated [60]fullerenes prepared using a [60]fullerene exchange method.
Various types of lipid membrane-incorporated C60 with high C60 concentrations can be prepared easily in several hours using the C60 exchange method and the photocleaving activity of cationic lipid membrane-incorporated C60 was appreciably higher than that of the C60.gamma-CDx complex.
متن کاملEnergetics of water permeation through fullerene membrane.
Lipid bilayer membranes are important as fundamental structures in biology and possess characteristic water-permeability, stability, and mechanical properties. Water permeation through a lipid bilayer membrane occurs readily, and more readily at higher temperature, which is largely due to an enthalpy cost of the liquid-to-gas phase transition of water. A fullerene bilayer membrane formed by dis...
متن کاملNano-C60 cytotoxicity is due to lipid peroxidation.
This study examines the biological effects of water-soluble fullerene aggregates in an effort to evaluate the fundamental mechanisms that contribute to the cytotoxicity of a classic engineered nanomaterial. For this work we used a water-soluble fullerene species, nano-C60, a fullerene aggregate that readily forms when pristine C60 is added to water. Nano-C60 was cytotoxic to human dermal fibrob...
متن کاملEffect of Foliar Spraying of Ascorbic Acid on Cell Membrane Stability, Lipid Peroxidation, Total Soluble Protein, Ascorbate Peroxidase and Leaf Ascorbic Acid Under Drought Stress in Grapes
Drought is the most common environmental stress in vineyard occurs in soils with low water content, even in irrigation condition. To evaluate foliar spraying of ascorbic acid under drought stress, a research during 2012 to 2013 years in the natural environment, and one year after the establishment of the cuttings in clay loam soil was conducted. Cultivars with two-level white seedless and khosh...
