脂质膜中分子转子的流体力学

Hydrodynamics of molecular rotors in lipid membranes

Vinny C. Suja, Naomi Oppenheimer, Howard A. Stone

AI总结:

本研究针对分子转子测膜黏度值偏高的问题,提出其弛豫时间受膜黏度与双层间摩擦共同影响的理论,给出校正因子,为利用已知膜黏度提取难测的双层间摩擦提供了可能。

摘要:

分子转子在光激发下会形成扭曲构象,其荧光弛豫时间可作为黏度的衡量指标。这类转子已被用于评估膜黏度,但与其他方法相比,其测得的数值更高。本研究表明,转子的弛豫时间受膜黏度与双层间摩擦的共同影响。我们提出了一个弛豫时间理论,并得到了可解释该差异的校正因子。若膜的黏度已知,分子转子或许能够提取难以测量的双层间摩擦参数。

英文摘要:

Molecular rotors form twisted conformations upon photoexcitation, with their fluorescent relaxation time serving as a measure of viscosity. They have been used to assess membrane viscosities but yield higher values compared to other methods. Here, we show that the rotor's relaxation time is influenced by a combination of membrane viscosity and interleaflet friction. We present a theory for the relaxation time and obtain a correction factor that accounts for the discrepancy. If the membrane's viscosity is known, molecular rotors may enable the extraction of the elusive interleaflet friction.
