Simulation of domain formation in DLPC-DSPC mixed bilayers

Binary mixtures of two phosphatidylcholines of different chain lengths are simulated in the bilayer state. We find a phase transition between a liquid state and a gel state at all concentrations. This phase transition is characterized by the area per lipid headgroup, the order parameter, and a change in dynamics. At concentrations with a majority of the longer lipid, we find phase separation into a gel and a liquid state in a small temperature window. This leads to a strong dynamic heterogeneity. Experimental phase transition temperatures are reproduced semiquantitatively. We see a clear shift in the phase transition to higher temperatures with increasing concentration of the longer lipid.     

Temperature dependence of the leakage of carboxy fluorescein from an inner aqueous phase of liposomes or mixed liposomes

Small unilamellar liposomes with an average diameter of about 500 Å containing carboxy fluorescein in an inner aqueous phase were prepared by 20 min sonication (60 W) of the aqueous dispersions of dimyristoyl-, dipalmitoyl-, or distearoyl phosphatidylcholine. The excess carboxy fluorescein in an outer aqueous phase was expelled by a Sepharose CL-4B column. The leaked carboxy fluorescein was analyzed successively by fluorescence spectroscopy at different temperatures. A rapid leakage was observed at the main phase transition temperature. On the other hand, little leakage was recorded below and above the phase transition temperature. The leakage was also observed around the main transition temperature when liposome suspensions were heated or cooled. Mixed liposomes, composed of two different lipids having different phase transition temperatures, showed a CF leakage at the lower transition temperature for the mixed liposomes. A good linear relationship was found between the transition temperature and the temperature where the fastest CF leakage was recorded for several liposomes. It is concluded that the leakage is not due to a simple increase in molecular motion at higher temperatures but is due to a transient structural disorder of the lipid packing induced by the phase separation.     

The effect of some phenyltin compounds on the thermotropic phase behaviour and the structure of model membranes

The effects of diphenyltin dichloride (DPhT), triphenyltin chloride (TPhT) and tetraphenyltin (TTPhT) on the thermotropic phase behaviour of phosphatidylcholine bilayers were studied. All the phenyltin compounds investigated affected phase transitions differently. TTPhT broadened the main phase transition but it left the transition temperatures and enthalpy unchanged. TPhT reduced the transition temperatures and the enthalpies while DPhT showed a dual effect on the pretransition and the main transition. At low concentrations DPhT reduced the temperatures of the transitions slightly and at higher concentrations it increased them. Based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and also ¹H NMR and ³¹P NMR measurements, it is suggested that DPhT induces interdigitated gel phase formation and TPhT induces hexagonal phase formation. TTPhT seems to affect the structure only a little. The toxic activity of DPhT and TPhT seems to be connected with their ability to induce changes in the membrane structure.

Binary mass diffusion in smectic C and CA phases as observed by forced Rayleigh scattering

We have observed the diffusion constants of a dye in several liquid crystals by forced Rayleigh scattering. In a liquid crystal which has a standard phase sequence of N-S_A-S_C, the diffusion anisotropy changes at the N-S_A phase transition and increases with decreasing temperature in S_A and S_C phases. The diffusion constants exhibit a rather smooth decrease with decreasing temperature except an anomaly at the S_A-S_c phase transition. In a liquid crystal which has the antiferroelectric S_CA phase, however, the diffusion constants show discontinuous increase and decrease at the S_A-S_c and the S_c-S_cA phase transition temperatures, respectively: the diffusion constant in S_C is larger than that in the higher temperature S_A phase. Anomalous signal increase and profile were observed at the phase transition temperatures, and were ascribed to the complementary transient grating due to the coexistence of two phases.     

Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of the Thermochromic Phase Transition of the Polydiacetylene from the Bis-n-Propylurethane of 5,7-Dodecadiyne-1,12-diol

The polydiacetylene (PDA) from the bis-n-propylurethane of 5,7-dodecadiyne-1,12-diol (PUDO) undergoes a first order phase transition near 135°C that is associated with a color change from blue at temperatures below the transition to red at temperatures above the transition. We have studied PDA-PUDO by solid state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra using cross polarization and magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) techniques at temperatures between 25° and 140°C. As observed previously, the acetylene carbon shift moves up field as the temperature is raised above the transition temperature. In addition, near 130°C, the oxymethylene carbon shows 3 resonances, indicating multiple side chain conformations as the PDA undergoes the phase transition.     

Determination of phase transition temperatures of liquid crystals by a light scattering method

A simple analytical system using light scattering (LS) method has been developed to determine phase transition temperatures of liquid crystals (LCs). Intensity changes of the transmission light through a sample were measured as a function of temperature. All LCs and non-LCs showed appreciable changes in the transmission intensity at the phase transition temperature. The transition temperatures determined by the LS method were identical to those by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Thermoresponsive hydrogels from symmetrical triblock copolymers poly(styrene-block-(methoxy diethylene glycol acrylate)-block-styrene)

A series of symmetrical, thermo-responsive triblock copolymers was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and studied in aqueous solution with respect to their ability to form hydrogels. Triblock copolymers were composed of two identical, permanently hydrophobic outer blocks, made of low molar mass polystyrene, and of a hydrophilic inner block of variable length, consisting of poly(methoxy diethylene glycol acrylate) PMDEGA. The polymers exhibited a LCST-type phase transition in the range of 20-40 °C, which markedly depended on molar mass and concentration. Accordingly, the triblock copolymers behaved as amphiphiles at low temperatures, but became water-insoluble at high temperatures. The temperature dependent self-assembly of the amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solution was studied by turbidimetry and rheology at concentrations up to 30 wt %, to elucidate the impact of the inner thermoresponsive block on the gel properties. Additionally, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was performed to access the structural changes in the gel with temperature. For all polymers a gel phase was obtained at low temperatures, which underwent a gel-sol transition at intermediate temperatures, well below the cloud point where phase separation occurred. With increasing length of the PMDEGA inner block, the gel-sol transition shifts to markedly lower concentrations, as well as to higher transition temperatures. For the longest PMDEGA block studied (DP(n) about 450), gels had already formed at 3.5 wt % at low temperatures. The gel-sol transition of the hydrogels and the LCST-type phase transition of the hydrophilic inner block were found to be independent of each other.     

Redox state of coenzyme Q10 determines its membrane localization

The interaction between oxidized (ubiquinone-10) and reduced (ubiquinol-10) coenzyme Q 10 with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine has been examined by differential scanning microcalorimetry, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and (2)H NMR. Microcalorimetry experiments showed that ubiquinol-10 perturbed considerably more the phase transition of the phospholipids than ubiquinone-10, both forms giving rise to a shoulder of the main transition peak at lower temperatures. Small angle X-ray diffraction showed an increase in d-spacing suggesting a thicker membrane in the presence of both ubiquinone-10 and ubiquinol-10, below the phase transition and a remarkable broadening of the peaks indicating a loss of the repetitive pattern of the lipid multilamellar vesicles. Infrared spectroscopy showed an increase in wavenumbers of the maximum of the CH 2 stretching vibration at temperatures below the phase transition, in the presence of ubiquinol-10, indicating an increase in the proportion of gauche isomers in the gel phase, whereas this effect was smaller for ubiquinone-10. A very small effect was observed at temperatures above the phase transition. (2)H NMR spectroscopy of perdeuterated DMPC showed only modest changes in the spectra of the phospholipids occasioned by the presence of coenzyme Q 10. These small changes were reflected, in the presence of ubiquinol-10, by a decrease in resolution indicating that the interaction between coenzyme Q and phospholipids changed the motion of the lipids. The change was also visible in the first spectral moment (M1), which is related with membrane order, which was slightly decreased at temperatures below the phase transition especially with ubiquinol-10. A slight decrease in M 1 values was also observed above the phase transition but only for ubiquinol-10. These results can be interpreted to indicate that most ubiquinone-10 molecules are localized in the center of the bilayer, but a considerable proportion of ubiquinol-10 molecules may span the bilayer interacting more extensively with the phospholipid acyl chains.     

Role of temperature in the numerical analysis of CaO under high pressure

In this paper we focus on the elastic and thermodynamic properties of the B1 phase of CaO by using the modified TBP model, including the role of temperature. We have successfully obtained the phase transition pressure and volume change at different temperatures. In addition elastic constants and bulk modulus of B1 phase of CaO at different temperatures are discussed. Our results are comparable with the previous ones at high temperatures and pressures. The thermodynamical properties of the B1 phase of CaO are also predicted.     

Rigid rod molecules as liquid crystal thermosets. II. Rigid rod esters

Nine rigid rod ester monomers endcapped with maleimide, nadimide, and methylnadimide groups were prepared and studied by DSC and hot stage polarized light microscopy. All of the monomers showed thermotropic nematic liquid crystalline phases and could be thermally crosslinked in the nematic phase. The nematic texture was maintained in the crosslinked solid state. The nematic phase range was enlarged by B-staging the monomeric compounds. Heating the monomers for a short period of time in the nematic phase lowered the crystal to nematic transition temperatures and increased the nematic to isotropic transition temperatures. A nonequilibrium phase diagram was proposed to explain the melting behavior of these reactive liquid crystal thermoset materials.
