1-烷醇在复合筏状脂质膜中的分配

Partitioning of 1-alkanols in composite raft-like lipid membrane

Anirban Polley

摘要:

虽然众所周知1-烷醇具有麻醉特性,但其作用方式仍然是个谜。采用原子分子动力学模拟研究了不同链长的1-烷醇在由不饱和二油酰磷脂酰胆碱(DOPC)、饱和二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱(DPPC)和胆固醇(Chol)组成的筏状模型膜中的分配,该模型膜呈现出液-序(lo)-液-序(ld)相共存的相结构.模拟结果表明,1-烷醇对膜力学性能的影响随链长的增加而增大,尤其是1-烷醇更倾向于在ld相区分配。对于长链烷醇,1-烷醇在膜中的渗透显著增加。我们还发现了1-链烷醇上的脂质和膜的刚性的链的顺序的依赖性。

英文摘要:

Though 1-alkanols are well known to have anesthetic properties, the mode of operation remains enigmatic. We perform extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to study the partitioning of 1- alkanols of different chain-lengths in raft-like model membrane made up of mixture of unsaturated dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and saturated dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and choles- terol (Chol) exhibiting phase coexistence of liquid-ordered (lo) - liquid disordered (ld) phase domains. Our simulation shows that the effect of 1-alkanols on the mechanical properties of the membrane has been pronounced with the chain-length of it. In particular, the 1-alkanols prefer to partition in the ld phase domain. The penetration of the 1-alkanols in the membrane increases significantly for the long-chain alkanol. We also have found the dependency of the order of chains of the lipids and rigidity of the membrane on the 1-alkanols.
