The use of fluorescent probes for studying the interaction of proteins with black lipid membranes.

چکیده
The number of 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulphonate (ANS) molecules bound to black phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylinositol (PI)-membranes was calculated. The fluorescences change of membrane bound ANS was measured after the additon of positively charged proteins to the same side as ANS. Cytochrome c caused a fluorescence decrease, lysozyme and protamine an increase. These effects were completely reversible in the case of cytochrome c and lysozyme and only partly reversible in the case of protamine by increasing the ionic strength. The fluorescence polarization of membrane bound ANS was not significantly changed by protein addition. The results are discussed with respect to the binding of proteins to black lipid membranes and the use of ANS as a probe compared with other fluorescent probes.

Application of FITC for detecting the binding of antiangiogenic peptide to HUVECs
Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. The angiogenic programme requires the degradation of the basement membrane, endothelial cell migration and invasion of the extracellular matrix, with endothelial cell proliferation and capillary lumen formation before maturation and stabilization of the new vasculature. Angiogenesis is dependent on a delicate equ...
متن کاملLipid fluidity of red cell membranes assessed with different fluorescent probes.
Two fluorescent probes, DPH and its cationic derivative, TMA-DPH, have been employed to probe the lipid fluidity of red cell membranes. The results show that the informations given by DPH and TMA-DPH can present important dif ferences, suggesting that DPH and TMA-DPH are not localized in the same areas of cell membranes. In an attempt to investigate relations between lipid fluidity and rheologi...
متن کاملDi- and tri-oxalkyl derivatives of a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) rotor dye in lipid bilayers.
The environment-sensitive fluorescent probes provide excellent tools for studying membranes in their native state. We have modified the BODIPY-based fluorescent molecular rotor by increasing the number of alkyl moieties from one to two or three to achieve a more defined and deeper positioning of the probe in membranes. Detailed characterisation of fluorescence properties and localisation/orient...
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...

Large unilamellar liposomes and multilamellar vesicles consisting of DMPC interacted with cationic phosphorus-containing dendrimers CPDs G3 and G4. DSC and ζ -potential measurements have shown that liposomal-dendrimeric molecular recognition occurs due to the interaction between the complementary surface groups. Calorimetric studies indicate that the enthalpy of the transition of the lipids tha...
