Incorporation of large guest molecules into liposomes via chemical reactions in lipid membranes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incorporation of hydrophobic guest molecules into lipid membranes by the exchange of the guest molecule from a cyclodextrin (CDx) complex to a liposome is limited to guest molecules that can be included in CDxs. To solve this problem, large guest molecules were incorporated into liposomes by chemical reactions of guest molecules in lipid membranes. Stable lipid-membrane-incorporated fullerene derivatives with large substituent(s) were prepared by Diels-Alder reactions in lipid membranes.

Fluorescent lipids: functional parts of fusogenic liposomes and tools for cell membrane labeling and visualization.
In this paper a rapid and highly efficient method for controlled incorporation of fluorescent lipids into living mammalian cells is introduced. Here, the fluorescent molecules have two consecutive functions: First, they trigger rapid membrane fusion between cellular plasma membranes and the lipid bilayers of their carrier particles, so called fusogenic liposomes, and second, after insertion int...
متن کاملLipid-membrane-incorporated hydrophobic photochromic molecules prepared by the exchange method using cyclodextrins.
It was found that the exchange method for the preparation of lipid-membrane-incorporated guest molecules was applicable not only to fullerenes but also to other hydrophobic molecules such as azobenzene and stilbene. The advantages of this method are that the long-term stability of the lipid-membrane-incorporated azobenzene solution and the maximum ratio of [stilbene]/[lipid] were higher than th...

To obtain information about the factors governing spontaneous inter-membrane protein transfer, we examined the effects of incorporation of various amphiphilic compounds in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes on protein transfer from influenza virus-infected cells to the liposomes, and analyzed the physical properties of these liposome membranes. The incorporation of amphiphilic comp...
متن کاملApplications of Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy for the Study of Lipid Membranes with Polyphilic Guest (Macro)Molecules
The incorporation of polymers or smaller complex molecules into lipid membranes allows for property modifications or the introduction of new functional elements. The corresponding molecular-scale details, such as changes in dynamics or features of potential supramolecular structures, can be studied by a variety of solid-state NMR techniques. Here, we review various approaches to characterizing ...

Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...
