摘要:

我们提出了一个实验研究模型磷酸胆碱脂质膜的小的两亲性肽的孔形成过程。我们使用原子力显微镜来表征空间组织和结构的丙甲霉素和蜂毒肽诱导的缺陷在脂质双层膜和局部膜特性的肽的影响。在不同的肽浓度下,直接观察凝胶DPPC膜中丙甲霉素诱导的孔。我们发现,凝胶膜中的脂质的热力学状态可以受到丙甲霉素的存在下,这样的纳米级域的流体脂质形成接近的肽孔,和膜的弹性常数在其附近被改变。蜂毒肽诱导的孔在DPPC和DLPC膜中在室温下可视化,以研究膜状态对肽诱导的孔形成的影响。差示扫描量热法也被用来研究丙甲霉素对脂膜相行为的影响。

英文摘要:

We present an experimental study of the pore formation processes of small amphipathic peptides in model phosphocholine lipid membranes. We used atomic force microscopy to characterize the spatial organization and structure of alamethicin- and melittin- induced defects in lipid bilayer membranes and the influence of the peptide on local membrane properties. Alamethicin induced holes in gel DPPC membranes were directly visualized at different peptide concentrations. We found that the thermodynamic state of lipids in gel membranes can be influenced by the presence of alamethicin such that nanoscopic domains of fluid lipids form close to the peptide pores, and that the elastic constants of the membrane are altered in their vicinity. Melittin-induced holes were visualized in DPPC and DLPC membranes at room temperature in order to study the influence of the membrane state on the peptide induced hole formation. Also differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the effect of alamethicin on the lipid membrane phase behavior.
