Abstract:This study investigated the roles of gamma-globulin in the dynamic interfacial behavior of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/gamma-globulin monolayers at air/liquid interfaces at 25 degrees C. The surface tension behavior demonstrated that gamma-globulin had a large adsorption time scale. Moreover, the surface pressure-area hysteresis behavior of adsorbed gamma-globulin monolayers suggested that no significant desorption occurred during the compression stage, and the respreading of gamma-globulin molecules at the interface during the expansion stage was slow. From the hysteresis behavior of adsorbed gamma-globulin monolayers with spread DPPC molecules, it was found that gamma-globulin molecules were expelled from the interface as DPPC molecules were in a condensed state. The squeeze-out of gamma-globulin molecules seemed to induce the loss of DPPC molecules at the interface with the extent depending on the initial gamma-globulin surface concentration. Furthermore, the expelled gamma-globulin molecules re-entered the monolayer and participated in the surface pressure increase during the following expansion stage. The exclusion of gamma-globulin associated with the removal of DPPC during monolayer compression and the re-entry of gamma-globulin during subsequent monolayer expansion represented a mechanism for DPPC depletion and gamma-globulin enrichment at the interface, which may explain the inhibitory effect of certain proteins on the surface activity of DPPC.
