We report the formation of lipid membranes supported by a soft polymeric cushion of polydopamine. First, 20 nm thick polydopamine films were formed on mica substrates. Atomic force microscopy imaging indicated that these films were also soft with a surface roughness of 2 nm under hydrated conditions. A zwitterionic phospholipid bilayer was then deposited on the polydopamine cushion by fusion of...
High resolution structure is presented for the ripple (Pβ') phase of the phospholipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. Low angle X-ray scattering from oriented samples yielded 57 orders, more than twice as many as recorded previously. The determined electron density map has a sawtooth profile similar to the result from lower resolution data, but the features are sharper allowing better estimates...
The CHARMM force field for DMPC lipids was modified in order to improve agreement with experiment for a number of important properties of hydrated lipid bilayer. The modification consists in introduction of a scaling factor 0.83 for 1-4 electrostatic interactions (between atoms separated by three covalent bonds), which provides correct transgauche ratio in the alkane tails, and recalculation of...
Third-generation (G3) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are simulated approaching 1,2-dimyristoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) bilayers with fully atomistic molecular dynamics, which enables the calculation of a free energy profile along the approach coordinate. Three different dendrimer terminations are examined: protonated primary amine, uncharged acetamide, and deprotonated carboxyl...
Halogen-substituted iminosulfuranes are transdermal penetration enhancers (TPEs) in permeation studies using hairless mouse or human cadaver skin. The interaction of N--(4--R-benzoyl)-S,S-dimethyliminosulfuranes 1--4, where R=H, Cl, Br, and I, with l-alpha-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) has been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, isothermal titration calorimetry, n...
The biological fate of nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications is highly dependent of their size and charge, their aggregation state and their surface chemistry. The chemical composition of the NPs surface influences their stability in biological fluids, their interaction with proteins, and their attraction to the cell membranes. In this work, core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica nanop...
Asocainol (ASOC) belongs to class I of the antiarrhythmic drugs, i.e., those that exert their action at the level of the sodium channels of the myocardial cell membrane. It has been suggested that their molecular mechanism of action might be through nonspecific interactions with phospholipids that surround the channel proteins. In order to test this hypothesis, ASOC was made to interact with tw...
Scanning probe microscopy studies of membrane fusion and nanoscopic structures were performed using hydrated single lipids and lipid mixtures. Extruded vesicles of DMPC and mixtures at various concentrations of DLPC, DPPC and cholesterol were deposited on freshly cleaved mica and studied in a fluid environment by AFM. The nanostructures formed by these extruded liposomes ranged from isolated un...
Bicelles are model membranes generally made of long-chain dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and short-chain dihexanoyl-PC (DHPC). They are extensively used in the study of membrane interactions and structure determination of membrane-associated peptides, since their composition and morphology mimic the widespread PC-rich natural eukaryotic membranes. At low DMPC/DHPC (q) molar ratios, fast-...
Accelerated molecular dynamics (aMD) is an enhanced sampling technique that expedites conformational space sampling by reducing the barriers separating various low-energy states of a system. Here, we present the first application of the aMD method on lipid membranes. Altogether, ∼1.5 μs simulations were performed on three systems: a pure POPC bilayer, a pure DMPC bilayer, and a mixed POPC:DMPC ...
