Ever since the raft model for biomembranes has been proposed, the traditional view of biomembranes based on the fluid-mosaic model has been altered. In the raft model, dynamical heterogeneities in multi-component lipid bilayers play an essential role. Focusing on the lateral phase separation of biomembranes and vesicles, we review some of the most relevant research conducted over the last decade. We mainly refer to those experimental works that are based on physical chemistry approach, and to theoretical explanations given in terms of soft matter physics. In the first part, we describe the phase behavior and the conformation of multi-component lipid bilayers. After formulating the hydrodynamics of fluid membranes in the presence of the surrounding solvent, we discuss the domain growth-law and decay rate of concentration fluctuations. Finally, we review several attempts to describe membrane rafts as two-dimensional microemulsion.  相似文献

The immobilization of copper in organic-inorganic hybrid materials catalyzing the Ullmann reaction has been described. Phenols reacted with aryl iodides, aryl bromides and aryl chlorides smoothly in the presence of a 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl functionalized silica gel immobilized copper catalyst. The protocol involved the use of DMSO as the solvent, and potassium fluoride as the base. The reactions generated the corresponding cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the silica-supported copper could be recovered and recycled by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and used for 10 consecutive trials without loss of its reactivity.  相似文献

The daily diet is important for our survival, health, and wellbeing. Functional food materials, which tailor the digestion process, can help maintaining and even improving human health and lifestyle. Knowledge on how food products, particularly food emulsions such as milk, interact with the digestive system, where they transform into supramolecular structures, can have a direct impact on the rational design of such advanced materials for functional food delivery applications. These materials have the potential to be personalized to digestive conditions and dietary nutrient requirements of the consumer or patient. They could help maintaining the uptake of codelivered nutrients and drugs even under compromised digestion conditions such as a fat maldigestion, a low bile salt concentration, or a limited lipase action. Such conditions are found, for instance, in preterm infants or patients with digestive disorders such as chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic insufficiency. Tailored nanostructure formation and transformation in these materials may further trigger the digestion rate and thus have an impact on the related feeling of satiety, which may help curing eating disorders and reduce the societal challenges of obesity and related diseases. In this contribution, the specific focus is set on discussing the equilibrium and dynamic colloidal properties of food emulsion droplets during digestion and their implications for designing nature-inspired functional food materials. These investigations provide a perspective toward the design of personalized food colloids.  相似文献

The applicability of 1-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynyl)pyrene (DMAPEPy), a pyrene derivative showing intramolecular charge transfer, as a prospective probe for lipid bilayer membranes has been evaluated. High sensitivity of DMAPEPy to solvent polarity and viscosity makes it to act both as a polarity-sensitive probe and as a fluorescence anisotropy probe. The molecule shows high partition efficiency towards bilayer membranes in both solid gel as well as in the liquid crystalline phases. The emission spectrum, quenching experiment and lifetime data suggest bimodal distribution of DMAPEPy in the bilayer. Using the solvent polarity scales the polarity parameters of the two locations in lipid bilayer have been estimated. In the bilayer environment it exhibits remarkable spectral changes with temperature. The thermotropic phase change of the bilayer is sensitively monitored by fluorescence intensity as well as fluorescence anisotropy parameters. DMAPEPy is also capable of sensing the changes induced by membrane modifiers like cholesterol.  相似文献

By adding external velocity terms, the two-dimensional time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equations are modified. Based on this, the phase separation in binary lipid membrane under externally imposed oscillatory shear flow is numerically modeled employing the Cell Dynamical System (CDS) approach. Considering shear flows with different frequencies and amplitudes, several aspects of such a phase evolving process are studied. Firstly, visualized results are shown via snapshot figures of the membrane shape. And then, the simulated scattering patterns at typical moments are presented. Furthermore, in order to more quantitatively discuss this phase-separation process, the time growth laws of the characteristic domain sizes in both directions parallel and perpendicular to the flow are investigated for each case. Finally, the peculiar rheological properties of such binary lipid membrane system have been discussed, mainly the normal stress difference and the viscoelastic complex shear moduli.  相似文献

High-yield phase transfer of hydrophilic mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA)-modified Ag nanoparticles into chloroform is readily attained using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) through electrostatic interaction. Increasing CTAB amount to a certain degree has achieved nearly complete phase transfer due to the sufficient formation of stoichiometric ion-pairs on particle surface. However, at high CTAB concentration, some unbonded CTA+ cations will be physically adsorbed on particle surface and enter chloroform layer simultaneously, which cannot be removed by simple water washing or centrifugation. By using β-cyclodextrin (CD) as a capturing agent, this portion of CTA+ cations can be adequately removed due to the possible inclusion function of CD. Upon removal of the unbonded CTAB, the monolayer formation of phase-transferred Ag nanoparticles at air–water interface presents improved two-dimensional (2D) orderliness owing to the more effective interdigitation among adjacent particles.  相似文献

For many years, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been used as delivery vehicles for various payloads (especially various oligonucleotides and mRNA), finding numerous applications in drug and vaccine development. LNP stability and bilayer fluidity are determined by the identities and the amounts of the various lipids employed in the formulation and LNP efficacy is determined in large part by the lipid composition which usually contains a cationic lipid, a PEG-lipid conjugate, cholesterol, and a zwitterionic helper phospholipid. Analytical methods developed for LNP characterization must be able to determine not only the identity and content of each individual lipid component (i.e., the parent lipids), but also the associated impurities and degradants. In this work, we describe an efficient and sensitive reversed-phase chromatographic method with charged aerosol detection (CAD) suitable for this purpose. Sample preparation diluent and mobile phase pH conditions are critical and have been optimized for the lipids of interest. This method was validated for its linearity, accuracy, precision, and specificity for lipid analysis to support process and formulation development for new drugs and vaccines.  相似文献

An improved HPLC–ELSD method has been developed for the analysis of the lipid classes of buttermilk and milk from different species, focused in the phospholipids fraction without a prior fractionation step and in a single run. The total lipid profile analysis showed the major and minor lipid compounds as cholesterol esters, triacylglycerides, cholesterol, diacylglycerides, free fatty acids, monoacylglycerides, and also the polar compounds as glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, phosphatidyl-ethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine. The identification and quantification of the different compounds, using calibration curves made with individual standards and the low coefficients of variation obtained in the inter- and intra-assays showed the suitability of the developed method. In this study, we optimized and validated a quantitative HPLC–ELSD method at a concentration level suitable for routine analysis of the major lipid classes in milk and dairy products.  相似文献

An organic-inorganic hybrid poly-o-toluidine Th(IV) phosphate was chemically synthesized by mixing ortho-tolidine into the gel of Th(IV) phosphate in different mixing volume ratios, concentration of inorganic reactant with a fixed mixing volume ratios of organic polymer. The physico-chemical characterization was carried out by elemental analysis, TEM, SEM, XRD, FTIR and simultaneous TGA-DTA studies. The ion-exchange capacity, chemical stability, effect of eluant concentration, elution behavior and pH titration studies were also carried out to understand the ion-exchange capabilities. The distribution studies revealed that the cation-exchange material is highly selective for Hg2+, which is an important environmental pollutant. Due to selective nature of the cation-exchanger ion-selective membrane electrode was fabricated for the determination of Hg(II) ions in solutions. The analytical utility of this electrode was established by employing it as an indicator electrode in electrometric titrations.  相似文献

SBA‐15‐PS/phthalhydrazide (PHD) is presented as a new heterogeneous inorganic–organic nanohybrid photocatalyst with high stability, superior recyclability and remarkable performance in the degradation of methyl orange (MO). Distinctive parameters, including photocatalyst and dye concentrations, pH and degradation time, were assessed for MO degradation catalysed by SBA‐15‐PS/PHD. This new heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopies and elemental analysis. Photodegradation of MO of up to 92% under the optimum conditions (photocatalyst = 0.015 g, [MO] = 4 ppm, pH = 2) was accomplished in 25 min using SBA‐15‐PS/PHD. A preliminary kinetic investigation was performed, and pseudo‐first‐order kinetics with a high rate constant (0.068 min?1) was found for MO degradation. Additional results showed that the photodegradation of MO was increased in the presence of hole scavengers. Therefore a photoreduction mechanism for MO degradation is proposed.  相似文献

Micrometer-sized, monodisperse, hollow polystyrene (PS)/poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (PEGDM) composite particles with a single hole in the shell were prepared by seeded polymerization using (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate/xylene)-swollen PS particles in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Single holes were observed at SDS concentrations above 3 mM, much lower than in the PS/polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) system previously reported (above 45 mM). Phase separation inside droplets occurred at lower conversion in the PEGDM system than the PDVB system. Phase separation in the droplet at the early stage of the polymerization is an important factor for the formation of the single hole in the shell.

The most used method for muscle lipid fractionation into major lipid classes was modified for improving its separation efficiency. Extracted lipids from a masseter muscle of one Iberian pig were separated into neutral lipids (NL), free fatty acids (FFA) and polar lipids (PL) using aminopropyl minicolumns, following the extensively used method of Kaluzny et al. [1] (old method-OM-) and a method based on that, developed by Pinkart et al. [2] with some (modifications modified method–MM). Obtained lipid classes were further analysed by TLC and lipid fractions were identified. TLC evidenced the presence of a certain amount of PL in the NL fraction obtained with the OM. On the other hand, using the MM only an almost undetectable presence of PL was evidenced in the NL fraction. Fatty acid composition of NL, PL and FFA obtained with each method was studied by gas chromatography. Fatty acid profile of NL was strongly influenced by the separation method used. Thus, NL obtained using the OM showed higher amounts of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and lower of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) than those obtained using the MM. Moreover, NL obtained using the OM showed the presence of fatty alcohols, constituents of phospholipids (PhL) absent or present only in trace amounts in acylglycerols. This profile reflects the coelution of PL in the NL fraction. Fatty acid profile of FFA and PL fractions was also influenced by the solid phase extraction (SPE) method used, but to a lesser extent.  相似文献

Polyfluorene (PFO) embedded in a nematic liquid crystal (LC) matrix is investigated. For low PFO weight contents, a homogeneous dispersion is obtained which displays a strong fluorescence anisotropy along the LC director, indicating a significant alignment of the polymeric chains along this direction. Besides, for relatively high PFO weight contents, phase separation takes place. Under these conditions, the sample is composed of micrometer‐sized domains, where the two species are in solution, enclosed by segregated polymeric boundaries. By polarized‐photoluminescence imaging and spectroscopy, it is found that most of the light emission originates from these boundaries and gets strongly pinned along their orientation. Since boundaries are mainly oriented orthogonal to the LC chains, this morphological alignment results in a system in which the orientation of the polarization emission can be predicted and possibly controlled. Conversely, in the homogeneous sample one can obtain a homogeneous emission polarization by controlling the alignment of the LC. These features are potentially relevant for the development of flexible polarization‐sensitive optoelectronic devices. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

The electrostatic coupling of charged phospholipid bilayers with polyelectrolyte multilayers is studied varying the lipid charge density, multilayer composition and preparation conditions. It is shown that in all cases the bilayer is insufficiently insulating for meaningful electrochemical studies. Homogeneity on a light microscopical length scale was obtained by two methods: vesicle fusion into bilayers and deposition from monolayers by the Langmuir–Schäfer (LB/LS) technique. Largest progress was achieved aiming for lateral diffusion comparable to an uncoupled bilayer. For this mixtures with 10% charged (DOPA) and 90% uncharged (DMPC) lipid were prepared that exhibited sufficient anchoring density and at the same time a fluid DMPC phase on going above the main phase transition at 24°C. This yielded diffusion coefficients in aqueous environment above 1 μm2 s−1 with almost no immobile fractions.  相似文献

Fluorescence properties of the antitumoral methyl 3-(benzo[b]thien-2-yl)-benzothieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate (BTP) were studied in solution and in lipid bilayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) and egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (Egg-PC). BTP presents good fluorescence quantum yields in all solvents studied (0.20 ≤ ΦF ≤ 0.32) and a bathochromic shift in polar solvents. The results indicate an ICT character of the excited state, with an estimated dipole moment of μe = 7.38 D.Fluorescence (steady-state) anisotropy measurements of BTP incorporated in lipid membranes of DPPC, DOPE and Egg-PC indicate that this compound is deeply located in the lipid bilayer, feeling the difference between the rigid gel phase and fluid phases.BTP inhibits the growth of three human tumour cell lines, MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), SF-268 (glioma) and NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer), being significantly more potent against the NCI-H460 tumour cells.  相似文献

Sol-gel polymerization of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) in ethanol using a two-step acid/base catalyzed procedure (B2) is followed by 29Si NMR spectroscopy. Analysis of the structural evolution of the B2 system shows that esterification of monomeric and end silicon species is rate-limited while that of linear and cyclic species is able to reach pseudoequilibrium in the second basic step. Condensation reactivity is reduced with increasing network connectivity, however, to a much less degree under B2 conditions than MTMS polymerization under acidic conditions. Steric effects as well as many other factors are attributed to this trend. The concentration of cyclic and polycyclic species of the B2 system is nearly 3 times lower compared to the acid-catalyzed system. The empirical degree of condensation at the gel point is determined to be 0.88. The effects of cyclization and phase separation on MTMS gelation are discussed for both B2 and acid-catalyzed systems. Based on these results it is believed that MTMS-based gels form for B2 and not acid-catalyzed conditions due to reduced cyclization, rapid hydrolysis and condensation, effective use of functional groups, and effective contribution of branched and polycyclic species as crosslinking points to connect polymeric chains in the B2 system.  相似文献
