- We present a 31P NMR spectroscopy study of planar glass-plate-oriented multi-bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) with addition of polyethylene oxide (PEO). This work revealed the presence of a new component in the spectra that appeared only with addition of a small fraction of PEO (up to one PEO segment per dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine molecule) and disappeared when larger amounts of PEO were added. We explained this phenomenon as an effect of an inhomogeneous force field induced by the PEO molecules located at a certain depth in the lipid membrane interface region

- 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can provide information on the composition of phospholipid (PL) membranes, lipid headgroup orientation relative to the bilayers normal, and the phase state of PL systems. Interaction of the membrane with ions, drugs, other small molecules and peptides may lead to lipid phase change and lamellar phase disturbances, which can also be revealed in 31P NMR spectra. Traditional 31P NMR spectroscopy has been used for years, mainly to study lipid phase state. In the last few years, however, its utility has been extended by a number of solid-state methods in field-cycling spectroscopy. Membrane mimicking systems have been complemented with bicelles, which are more convenient for studying peptide structure in lipid–peptide interactions. Another challenge is the study of ordered membrane domains (rafts) induced in the presence of cholesterol or certain proteins. As a result, recent work has refined the structure of PL headgroups and elucidated membrane responses to interactions with peptides and other molecules. Selected examples of such fascinating investigations are presented here.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Non-halogenated boron-based ionic liquids (ILs) composed of phosphonium cations and chelated orthoborate anions have high hydrolytic stability, low melting point and exceptional properties for various applications. This study is focused on ILs with the same type of cation, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium ([P6,6,6,14]+), and two orthoborate anions, such as bis(salicylato)borate ([BScB]−) and bis(oxalato)borate ([BOB]−). We compare the results of this study with our previous studies on ILs with bis(mandelato)borate ([BMB]−) and a variety of different cations (tetraalkylphosphonium, dialkylpyrrolidinium and dialkylimidazolium). The ion dynamics and phase behavior of these ILs is studied using 1H and 11B pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) NMR. PFG NMR is demonstrated to be a useful tool to elucidate the dynamics of ions in this class of phosphonium orthoborate ILs. In particular, the applicability of 11B PFG NMR for studying anions without 1H, such as [BOB]−, and the limitations of this technique to measure self-diffusion of ions in ILs are demonstrated and discussed in detail for the first time.

Effect of Curcumin on Lateral Diffusion of Phosphatidylcholines in Saturated and Unsaturated Bilayers

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Curcumin, a dietary polyphenol, is a natural spice with preventive and therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Curcumin possesses a spectrum of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and antimutagenic properties. Because of this broad spectrum of pharmacological activity, it has been suggested that, like cholesterol, curcumin exerts its effect on a rather basic biological level, such as on lipid bilayers of biomembranes. The effect of curcumin on translational mobility of lipids in biomembranes has not yet been studied. In this work, we used 1H NMR diffusometry to explore lateral diffusion in planar-oriented bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) at curcumin concentrations of up to 40 mol % and in the temperature range of 298-333 K. The presence of curcumin at much lower concentrations (∼7 mol %) leads to a decrease in the lateral diffusion coefficient of DOPC by a factor of 1.3 at lower temperatures and by a factor of 1.14 at higher temperatures. For DMPC, the diffusion coefficient decreases by a factor of 1.5 at lower temperatures and by a factor of 1.2 at higher temperatures. Further increasing the curcumin concentration has no effect. Comparison with cholesterol showed that curcumin and cholesterol influence lateral diffusion of lipids differently. The effect of curcumin is determined by its solubility in lipid bilayers, which is as low as 10 mol % that is much less than that of cholesteroĺs 66 mol %.

Interaction of a Poly(acrylic acid) Oligomer with Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine Bilayers
- 2011
-
In: Langmuir. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0743-7463 .- 1520-5827. ; 27:7, s. 3754-3761
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We studied the influence of 5 kDa poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) on the phase state, thermal properties, and lateral diffusion in bilayered systems of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) using 31P NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 1H NMR with a pulsed field gradient, and 1H nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY). The presence of PAA does not change the lamellar structure of the system. 1H MAS NOESY cross-peaks observed for the interaction between lipid headgroups and polyion protons demonstrated only surface PAA−biomembrane interaction. Small concentrations of PAA (up to 4 mol %) lead to the appearance of a new lateral phase with a higher main transition temperature, a lower cooperativity, and a lower enthalpy of transition. Higher concentrations lead to the disappearance of measurable thermal effects. The lateral diffusion coefficient of DMPC and the apparent activation energy of diffusion gradually decreased at PAA concentrations up to around 4 mol %. The observed effects were explained by the formation of at least two types of PAA−DMPC lateral complexes as has been described earlier (Fujiwara, M.; Grubbs, R. H.; Baldeschwieler, J. D. J. Colloid Interface Sci., 1997, 185, 210). The first one is characterized by a stoichiometry of around 28 lipids per polymer, which corresponds to the adsorption of the entire PAA molecule onto the membrane. Lipid molecules of the complex are exchanged with the “pure” lipid bilayer, with the lifetime of the complex being less than 0.1 s. The second type of DMPC−PAA complex is characterized by a stoichiometry of 6 to 7 lipids per polymer and contains PAA molecules that are only partially adsorbed onto the membrane. A decrease in the DMPC diffusion coefficient and activation energy for diffusion in the presence of PAA was explained by the formation of a new cooperative unit for diffusion, which contains the PAA molecule and several molecules of lipids.

Lateral diffusion in equimolar mixtures of natural sphingomyelins with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine
- 2012

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Cellular membranes of mammals are composed of a complex assembly of diverse phospholipids. Sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) are important lipids of eukaryotic cellular membranes and neuronal tissues, and presumably participate in the formation of membrane domains, known as "rafts," through intermolecular interaction and lateral microphase decomposition. In these two-dimensional membrane systems, lateral diffusion of lipids is an essential dynamic factor, which might even be indicative of lipid phase separation process. Here, we used pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance to study lateral diffusion of lipid components in macroscopically oriented bilayers composed of equimolar mixtures of natural SMs of egg yolk, bovine brain, bovine milk and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC). In addition, differential scanning calorimetry was used as a complementary technique to characterize the phase state of the lipid bilayers. In fully liquid bilayers, the lateral diffusion coefficients in both DOPC/DPPC and DOPC/SM systems exhibit mean values of the pure bilayers. For DOPC/SM bilayer system, this behavior can be explained by a model where most SM molecules form short-lived lateral domains with preferential SM-SM interactions occurring within them. However, for bilayers in the presence of their low-temperature gel phase, lateral diffusion becomes complicated and cannot simply be understood solely by a simple change in the liquid phase decomposition.

- The thermal behaviour, molecular orientation and lateral diffusion in the bilayered systems of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were studied by NMR and DSC techniques, and it was found that PEO decreases the melting temperature (of vesicles and flat multibilayers) and affects the degree of orientation of DMPC molecules relative to the bilayer normal, but it does not influence the lateral diffusion of DMPC molecules

Electro-Responsive Surface Composition and Kinetics of an Ionic Liquid in a Polar Oil
- 2019
-
In: Langmuir. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0743-7463 .- 1520-5827. ; 35:48, s. 15692-15700

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been used to study how the interfacial layer of an ionic liquid dissolved in a polar oil at low weight percentages responds to changes in applied potential. The changes in surface composition at the QCM gold surface depend on both the magnitude and sign of the applied potential. The time-resolved response indicates that the relaxation kinetics are limited by the diffusion of ions in the interfacial region and not in the bulk, since there is no concentration dependence. The measured mass changes cannot be explained only in terms of simple ion exchange; the relative molecular volumes of the ions and the density changes in response to ion exclusion must be considered. The relaxation behavior of the potential between the electrodes upon disconnecting the applied potential is more complex than that observed for pure ionic liquids, but a measure of the surface charge can be extracted from the exponential decay when the rapid initial potential drop is accounted for. The adsorbed film at the gold surface consists predominantly of ionic liquid despite the low concentration, which is unsurprising given the surtactant-like structures of (some of) the ionic liquid ions. Changes in response to potential correspond to changes in the relative numbers of cations and anions, rather than a change in the oil composition. No evidence for an electric field induced change in viscosity is observed. This work shows conclusively that electric potentials can be used to control the surface composition, even in an oil-based system, and paves the way for other ion solvent studies.

Interaction of polyacrylic acid with lipid bilayers : effect of polymer mass
- 2013

In: Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry. - : Wiley. - 0749-1581 .- 1097-458X. ; 51:11, s. 750-755

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Polyanion-coated lipid vesicles are proposed to have an appreciable potential for drug delivery because of their ability to control the permeability of lipid bilayers by environmental parameters such as pH and temperature. However, details of the interaction of this class of polymers with lipids and their mechanisms of induced permeability are still being debated. In this work, we applied 1H NOESY to study details of the interaction of polyacrylic acid (PAA) fractions of molecular weights 5 and 240 kDa with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles. We showed that PAA of two different molecular masses modifies lipid bilayers increasing disorder and probability of close contact between polar and hydrophobic groups. PAA molecules adsorb near the interface of lipid bilayers but do not penetrate into the hydrophobic core of the bilayer and, thus, cannot participate in formation of transbilayer channels, proposed in earlier works. Increasing the molecular mass of PAA from 5 kDa to 240 kDa does not change the effect of PAA on the bilayer, although PAA240 forms a more compact structure (either intra-molecular or inter-molecular) and interacts more strongly with interface lipid protons
