Functional Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membranes on Aluminum Oxide

Tethered bilayer lipid membranes are established as well‐suited model membrane systems adaptable to different surfaces, for example, gold and silicon. These solid supported membranes are highly flexible in their tethering and lipid parts and can thus be optimized for functional incorporation of membrane proteins. The excellent sealing properties of the tethered membranes allow incorporated ion‐channel proteins to be investigated. Preparation of ultrasmooth aluminum oxide by sputtering and synthesis of new tethering lipids with phosphonic acid anchor groups enable formation of an electrically sealing membrane on this surface. This process is monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. High sealing performance of the membrane and functional incorporation of the ion carrier valinomycin are demonstrated.

Synthesis of End-Functionalized Lipopolymers and Their Characterization with Regard to Polymer-Supported Lipid Membranes

In order to build up tether-supported membranes, we have focused on the synthesis of lipopolymers. Different lipid analog initiators based on 2-bromopropionamide have been synthesized. In addition, fluorescence-labeled lipoinitiators using pyrene were synthesized. These initiators were used for the synthesis of polyacrylamide copolymers by atom-transfer radical polymerization. A final surface-anchor end group was attached to the polymers by polymer analogous reaction. In this way, α,β-functionalized polyacrylamides were obtained. The interaction of these lipopolymers with different lipid bilayer structures was investigated in several experiments. The lipopolymers adsorb onto the surface of vesicles as shown by photon correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence measurements. The fixation of these lipopolymers on flat surfaces was studied using surface plasmon spectroscopy. The film thickness of the adsorbed lipopolymer films is about 12 to 20 Å. The surfaces thus modified can be used for the fixation of lipid vesicles to form polymer-supported bilayers. This leads to an additional thickness increase of 41–62 Å.

Aromatic Fluorination of Multiblock Amphiphile Enhances Its Incorporation into Lipid Bilayer Membranes

We designed multiblock amphiphiles AmF and AmH , which consist of perfluorinated and non-fluorinated hydrophobic units, respectively. Absorption spectroscopy revealed that both amphiphiles are molecularly dispersed in organic solvent, while they form aggregates under aqueous conditions. Furthermore, we investigated whether AmF and AmH can be incorporated into DOPC lipid bilayer membranes, and found that the maximum concentration of AmF that can be incorporated into DOPC lipid bilayer membranes is 43 times higher than that of AmH .     

联萘酚与固体支撑双层类脂膜相互作用

采用循环伏安法、交流阻抗法研究了联萘酚(BINOL)与固体支撑双层类脂膜(s-BLM)之间的相互作用.结果表明,联萘酚通过氢键、疏水作用与s-BLM发生相互作用.随着相互作用时间的延长,联萘酚/s-BLM体系中的氧化峰电流先增大后减小,表明联萘酚逐渐破坏s-BLM的整体性,诱导膜内部形成微孔通道.联萘酚的浓度越大,联萘酚分子通过s-BLM的渗透时间越短.此外,随着卵磷脂浓度和胆固醇含量的增加,s-BLM的膜电阻变大,联萘酚渗透通过s-BLM速率减小,导致其对s-BLM的渗透性能减弱.     

Domain Formation in Lipid Bilayer Membranes: Control of Membrane Nanostructure by Molecular Architecture

Lipid-polymer conjugates with differing hydrophobic to hydrophilic dimensions were prepared. The polymer part consisted of hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-1,3-oxazolines) (POZO), whose chain length can be controlled by living polymerization methods. The lipid-polymer conjugates were incorporated into vesicles composed of L--dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) or L--dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in amounts of up to 25mol%. The formation of domains within the lipid bilayer membrane is observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermal analysis (DSC), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The synthetic design of the lipids allows control over the distribution of polymer chains on the vesicle surface.

Chemistry of Synthetic Bilayer Membranes

The preparation of bilayer membranes from synthetic dialkyl amphiphiles is described. According to the electron microscopic observation, the bilayer structure similar to that of biomembranes is formed spontaneously when dialkyldimethyl-ammonium bromides with C₁₀-C₂₀ alkyl groups are dispersed in water by sonication. The line broadening in the NMR spectrum strongly suggests that these synthetic bilayers constitute liquid crystalline or solid phases. The hydrophilic head group may be sulfonium and modified ammonium moieties. The bilayer assembly is also formed from dialkyl amphiphiles with anionic head groups: (phosphate, sulfonate, and carboxylate), from nonionic dialkyl amphiphiles (oligomeric ethylene oxide) moiety) and from zwitterionic dialkyl amphiphiles. These bilayers incorporate equimolar cholesterol fairly readily. The redistribution of catalyst (a cholesterol derivative) and substrate (p-nitrophenyl palmitate) molecules is very slow when they are tightly bound to the aggregate. The intravesicle reaction is much faster than the intervesicle counterpart in the case of the di-dodecyldimethylammonium bromide vesicle.

Synthesis of Spin-Labeled Ibuprofen and Its Interaction with Lipid Membranes

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug possessing analgesic and antipyretic activity. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy could be applied to study its interaction with biological membranes and proteins if its spin-labeled analogs were synthesized. Here, a simple sequence of ibuprofen transformations—nitration, esterification, reduction, Sandmeyer reaction, Sonogashira cross-coupling, oxidation and saponification—was developed to attain this goal. The synthesis resulted in spin-labeled ibuprofen (ibuprofen-SL) in which the spin label TEMPOL is attached to the benzene ring. EPR spectra confirmed interaction of ibuprofen-SL with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) bilayers. Using ²H electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy, ibuprofen-SL was found to be embedded into the hydrophobic bilayer interior.

Effect of the Structure of Cholesterol‐Based Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membranes on Ionophore Activity

Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLM) are formed on 1) pure tether lipid triethyleneoxythiol cholesterol (EO₃C) or on 2) mixed self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of EO₃C and 6‐mercaptohexanol (6MH). While EO₃C is required to form a tBLM with high resistivity, 6MH dilutes the cholesterol content in the lower leaflet of the bilayer forming ionic reservoirs required for submembrane hydration. Here we show that these ionic reservoirs are required for ion transport through gramicidin or valinomycin, most likely due to the thermodynamic requirements of ions to be solvated once transported through the membrane. Unexpectedly, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows an increase of capacitance upon addition of gramicidin, while addition of valinomycin decreases the membrane resistance in the presence of K⁺ ions. We hypothesise that this is due to previously reported phase separation of EO₃C and 6MH on the surface. This results in ionic reservoirs on the nanometre scale, which are not fully accounted for by the equivalent circuits used to describe the system.
