多巴胺在POPC磷脂双层膜中扩散和透过过程的分子动力学模拟

多巴胺作为脑组织内一种重要的神经递质在细胞膜内外需要做合适的迁移,发挥其功能.多巴胺在细胞膜中扩散和透过过程的分子动力学涉及到多巴胺分子保护通道的畅通,与精神分裂症等病症有关.本文采用1-棕榈酰-2-油酰-卵磷脂(POPC)双层膜模拟细胞膜,通过分子动力学模拟获得多巴胺分子在细胞膜中和透过细胞膜运动自由能变化,探讨多巴胺在细胞膜中扩散和透过过程的分子动力学.多巴胺分子在POPC磷脂双层膜中间层做扩散运动的自由能变化为10-54 kJ mol-1(310 K),显示多巴胺分子在细胞膜中间层很容易横向和纵向扩散,保持多巴胺保护通道的畅通.多巴胺分子不容易透过POPC磷脂双层膜,因为透过过程自由能能垒为117-125 kJ mol-1(310 K).因此,人脑组织神经细胞里生产的多巴胺分子可以储藏在生物细胞膜空间.而过量的多巴胺则可以通过保护通道进入磷脂双层膜结构中间,做横向和纵向扩散运动,并且透过细胞膜,避免精神分裂症的发生.生物细胞膜的正常功能对于保持多巴胺保护通道的畅通和避免精神分裂症的出现都是重要的.研究结果与其它实验观察和结果相一致.

多巴胺在其第三受体蛋白结构中的分子通道上传输动力学

本文基于多巴胺与其第三受体复合蛋白(D_3R)结构,采用分子动力学技术Gromacs 4.5程序中的伞形样本方法,研究多巴胺在多巴胺第三受体蛋白结构中的运动轨迹及其过程中自由能变化,探讨多巴胺在其分子通道上传输运动机制动力学。分子模拟表明,处在发挥神经递质作用部位的多巴胺,通过D_3R结构中的功能分子通道沿着y+轴朝细胞外方向传输运动的自由能变化数值为134.6 kJ?mol~(-1),沿着y-轴朝细胞内传输运动的自由能变化为211.5 kJ?mol~(-1)。在D_3R结构中,多巴胺沿着x+、x-、z+、z-轴朝细胞双层膜方向传输运动的自由能变化分别为65.8、245.0、551.4、172.8 kJ?mol~(-1),数值说明DOP更容易沿着x+轴方向从TM5(第五跨膜螺旋)与TM6(第六跨膜螺旋)缝隙之间离开D_3R内部结构。处在细胞间隙空间的自由多巴胺,在等温等压条件下沿着逆y+轴方向通过多巴胺第三受体内功能分子通道,到达发挥神经递质作用的部位是一个自发过程,因为在该轨迹上多巴胺分子与受体相互作用是一个负自由能变化(-134.6 kJ?mol~(-1))。所以,多巴胺与多巴胺受体很容易相互结合,发挥神经递质作用。发挥了神经递质功能作用的多巴胺分子,沿着x+轴方向的保护分子通道从TM5与TM6缝隙之间离开D_3R内部结构,避免过度发挥多巴胺神经递质功能作用。根据多巴胺功能和保护分子通道观点,我们提出帕金森病新病理和精神分裂症新病理。论文还探讨多巴胺分子通道理论及其新病理应用于治疗控制这两种病症及其相关药物研究开发。

The kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction between uranium(VI) and titanium(III) in HCl solution

The oxidation-reduction reaction between U(VI) and Ti(III) in HCl solution was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction is second-order at all concentrations of reactants, HCl, ferrous chloride and mannitol used in this work. In 5M HCl the rate constantk increases with increasing Ti(III) concentration, whereas it decreases with increasing U(VI) concentration, with increasing HCl concentration from 1.00M to 7.17M and increases thereafter from 7.17M to 11.79M. The addition of mannitol causes a consistent decrease in the rate of reaction, whereas ferrous chloride has no effect. The activation energy for this oxidation-reduction reaction was 47.90±0.11 kJ·mol^–1. The values of H , G and S were 45.40±0.11 kJ·mol^–1, 72.50±0.17 kJ·mol^–1 and –91.10±0.22J·k^–1·mol^–1, respectively. The mode of reaction is discussed in the light of kinetic results.

The Permeation Mechanism of Cisplatin Through a Dioleoylphosphocholine Bilayer**

The investigation of the intermolecular interactions between platinum-based anticancer drugs and lipid bilayers is of special relevance to unveil the mechanisms involved in different steps of the anticancer mode of action of these drugs. We have simulated the permeation of cisplatin through a model membrane composed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipids by means of umbrella sampling classical molecular dynamics simulations. The initial physisorption of cisplatin into the polar region of the lipid membrane is controlled by long-range electrostatic interactions with the choline groups in a first step and, in a second step, by long-range electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions with the phosphate groups. The second half of the permeation pathway, in which cisplatin diffuses through the nonpolar region of the bilayer, is characterized by the drop of the interactions with the polar heads and the rise of attractive interactions with the non-polar tails, which are dominated by van der Waals contributions. The permeation free-energy profile is explained by a complex balance between the drug/lipid interactions and the energy and entropy contributions associated with the dehydration of the drug along the permeation pathway and with the decrease and increase of the membrane ordering along the first and second half of the mechanism, respectively.     

Diffusion coefficients and activation energies of diffusion of low molecular weight migrants in Poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is nowadays the packaging material of choice for beverages. Therefore knowledge about the diffusion coefficients at a certain temperature or activation energies of diffusion of potential migrants in the polymer is of interest, especially for the definition of the basic parameter set for migration modelling of PET. In this study, the diffusion coefficients of acetaldehyde, benzene and tetrahydrofuran in PET bottle materials were determined from kinetic migration experiments at four different temperatures. The activation energies for tetrahydrofuran and benzene were determined to be 106.8 kJ mol⁻¹ and 101.4 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The activation energy for acetaldehyde is significantly lower (75.7 kJ mol⁻¹) which is due to the lower molecular weight of this molecule compared to benzene and tetrahydrofuran. The results were compared with literature data of diffusion coefficients of other low molecular weight molecules in PET. From the results it is evident that the current migration model with the default modelling parameters for PET does not describe realistically the diffusion coefficients in PET. The migration of small molecules like acetaldehyde will be underestimated whereas higher molecular weight compounds will be overestimated by the current migration model. Whereas the overestimation is useful for compliance evaluation of PET bottles, for more realistic migration calculations, e.g. for exposure estimations, such overestimation is not desirable. Therefore, more accurate modelling parameters should be established. The key parameters for more realistic migration modelling are the activation energies of diffusion in the polymer.     

Heat-capacity measurements and thermodynamic functions of crystalline adenine; revised thermodynamic properties of aqueous adenine

The standard molar heat capacity C^°_p,m of adenine(cr) has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry over the range 6<(T/K)<310 and the results used to derive thermodynamic functions for adenine(cr) at smoothed temperatures. At T=298.15 K, C^°_p,m=(142.67±0.29) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ and the third law entropy S^°_m=(145.62±0.29) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹. The standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation Δ_fG^°_m at T=298.15 K for crystalline adenine was calculated, using the standard molar enthalpy of formation for the compound and entropies of the elements from the literature, and found to be Δ_fG^°_m=(301.4±1.0) kJ · mol⁻¹. The results were combined with solution calorimetry and solubility measurements from the literature to yield revised values for the standard molar thermodynamic properties of aqueous adenine at T=298.15 K: Δ_fG^°_m=(313.4±1.0) kJ · mol⁻¹, Δ_fH^°_m=(129.5±1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, and S_m^°=(217.68±0.44) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹.     

A dynamic approach to diffusion and permeation measurements

A dynamic method for investigating the mechanism of permeation and diffusion through polymers has been explored. The permeation cell consists of two compartments separated by the membrane. The permeant (gas, vapor, or liquid) is introduced into one compartment; a carrier gas (helium) flows at constant rate through the other and sweeps the permeant which diffuses through the membrane to the thermal conductivity detector. Both compartments are at atmospheric pressure; thus no or little membrane support is required, and leakage problems are minimal. Moreover, the same membrane can be used over a wide temperature range and for diverse permeants. The detector signal is at any instant proportional to the permeation rate. A simple mathematical formalism for deriving the diffusion coefficient from the transient permeation rates has been developed. The measured diffusion and permeability coefficients of CO₂, O₂, and N₂ through low-density polyethylene closely agree with literature values. Permeation of hexane and benzene through polyethylene follows a complex diffusion law, and the rate depends on the thermal history of the system. The dynamic method is particularly suited to the study of transitions in polymers. Changes in permeation rates, usually occurring at transition points, can easily be discovered by slow temperature scanning of the system.
