Yolk Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activity of (Ca -Mg )ATPase reconstituted into egg yolk phos phatidylcholine liposomes is reduced when the lipid has been oxidized before the reconstitution procedure. It is suggested that the reversible decrease in activity is caused by a decrease of the lipid bilayer thickness due to the shortening of lipid acyl chains during autoperoxidation; the irreversible decrease in the activity is caused by chemical reactions of the enzyme SH groups with the lipid autoperoxidation products.

Transport of macrocyclic compounds across phospholipid bilayers by umbrella-rotaxanes.
We report the synthesis and assembly of umbrella-rotaxanes with transmembrane transport properties. We describe their amphomorphism and validate their ability to penetrate and cross phospholipid bilayers. Furthermore we present the strategy to release the macrocyclic compound by enzymatic cleavage inside egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) liposomes.
متن کاملEffect of the amino acid composition of cyclic peptides on their self-assembly in lipid bilayers.
The effect of amino acid composition on the formation of transmembrane channels in lipid bilayers upon self-assembly of alt-(L,D)-α-cyclic octapeptides has been investigated. Cyclic peptides comprising D-leucine, alternating with different combinations of L-azidolysine, L-lysine(Alloc), L-lysine and L-tryptophan were synthesized and the size of pores formed via self-assembly of these molecules ...
متن کاملEgg-sphingomyelin and cholesterol form a stoichiometric molecular complex in bilayers of egg-phosphatidylcholine.
Sphingomyelin and cholesterol are membrane lipids that interact to form liquid-ordered phase believed to act as a platform for the organization of signaling proteins. We report analyses of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction patterns recorded from aqueous dispersions of ternary mixtures of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk and cholesterol to investigate how cholesterol distri...
متن کاملDepth profiles of pulmonary surfactant protein B in phosphatidylcholine bilayers, studied by fluorescence and electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B (SP-B) has been isolated from porcine lungs and reconstituted in bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) to characterize the extent of insertion of the protein into phospholipid bilayers. The parameters for the interaction of SP-B with DPPC or PC using different reconstitution protocols have been estimated ...
متن کاملMicropatterned composite membranes of polymerized and fluid lipid bilayers.
Micropatterned composite membranes of polymerized and fluid lipid bilayers were constructed on solid substrates. Lithographic photopolymerization of a diacetylene-containing phospholipid, 1,2-bis(10,12-tricosadiynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DiynePC), and subsequent removal of nonreacted monomers by a detergent solution (0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) yielded a patterned polymeric bil...
