Thermodynamics study of gramicidin S and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine model membrane interactions based on the FTIR spectroscopy

2001-05-30
The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was utilized in the study to investigate the thermodynamics of the main phase transition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membrane in the vicinity of the antibiotic peptide gramicidin S (GS). Based on the two-state thermotropic phase behavior of DPPC, linear extrapolation method was employed to monitor the stability of GS-DPPC interacting systems at different peptide concentrations. The main phase transition temperature (T-m) and the enthalpy change (DeltaH(m)) were observed as GS concentration was raised. In addition, an evident reduction in the energy at maximum stability (DeltaG(s)) was obtained with the incorporation of GS. These thermodynamics results together with FTIR data indicated a destabilization effect imposed on the acyl chains of DPPC by GS presence. All these results showed the strong interactions of this peptide with DPPC model membrane. The results obtained by employing the thermodynamics approach using the FTIR spectral data gave a quantitative description and some additional information such as the values of DeltaG(s),DeltaH(m) and better estimates of T-m of DPPC and gramicidin containing DPPC systems.

Competitive effect of vitamin D-2 and Ca2+ on phospholipid model membranes: an FTIR study
Toyran, N; Severcan, Feride (2003-04-01)
The interaction of Ca2+, with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membranes was studied in the presence and absence of vitamin D-2 by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Addition of vitamin D-2 and/or Ca2+ into pure DPPC liposomes shifts the phase transition to higher temperature, orders and decreases the dynamics of the acyl chains in both phases and does not induce hydrogen bond formation in the interfacial region. Moreover, the dynamics of the head group of the phospholipid decreases ...

Interactions of 17 beta-oestradiol (E2) with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a function of temperature. The investigation of the C-H stretching region and the C=0 mode reveals that E2 changes the physical properties of the DPPC bilayers by decreasing the main phase transition temperature, diminishing the pretransition, slightly disordering the system in the gel and in the liquid crystalline phase, increasin...

Sade, Asli; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Severcan, Feride (2011-01-01)
The effects of different concentrations of celecoxib on the acyl chain order, dynamics and the hydration status of the head group and interfacial region of model membranes containing DSPC and cholesterol were investigated in detail using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Our results reveal that regardless of the presence of cholesterol, celecoxib is able to alter the physical properties of membranes. It exerts opposing effects on membrane order at high and low concentrations and decreases membrane fl...

Interactions of progesterone with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of progesterone concentration at selected temperatures monitoring both the gel and liquid crystalline phase, by using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It has been show that the effect of progesterone on membrane dynamics is dependent on progesterone concentration. At 1 mol%, which is close to physiological level, progesterone behaves differently....

Boyar, H; Severcan, Feride (1997-06-01)
The temperature- and concentration-induced effects of tamoxifen (TAM) on dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membranes were investigated by the Fourier transform-infrared (FT IR) spectroscopic technique. An investigation of the C-H stretching region and the C=0 mode reveals that the inclusion of TAM changes the physical properties of the DPPC multibilayers by (i) shifting the main phase transition to lower temperatures; (ii) broadening the transition profile slightly; (iii) disordering the system i...
