The effect of α-tocopherol on the frequency of the CH2 stretching bands of infrared spectra of dipalmitoylphosphotidylcholine multibilayers has been investigated, both in H2O and 2H2O buffer, to determine the reason for the discrepancy in the literature between the results of different spectroscopic techniques relating to the effect of α-tocopherol on membrane order in the gel phase. In contrast to previous FTIR studies, the present FTIR results indicate that αT increases the frequencies of the CH2 stretching bands in the gel phase, which implies an increase in the number of gauche conformers (increase in disordering), which is in agreement with other ESR and NMR spectroscopic studies.

IR and turbidity studies of vitamin E-cholesterol-phospholipid membrane interactions Severcan, Feride; Kazanci, Nadide; Baykal, Ülkü; Süzer, Şefik (Portland Press Ltd., 1995-8-1) Binary and tertiary mixture of α-tocophenol, cholesterol and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine in the form of multilamellar liposomes were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared and visible spectroscopy. Results of the FTIR and turbidity experiments indicate that α T decreases or diminishes the effect of cholesterol on the frequency and the bandwidth of the C-H stretching, CH2 scissoring and C=O stretching bands in FTIR spectra and the turbidity measurements (recorded as absorbance values at 440 nm) in pho...
Vitamin E Derivative with Modified Side Chain Induced Apoptosis by Modulating the Cellular Lipids and Membrane Dynamics in MCF7 Cells Gok, Seher; Kuzmenko, Oleksandr; Babinskyi, Andrii; Severcan, Feride (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-01) The vitamin E derivative with side chain modification (TC6OAc) has been shown to possess anticancer activity in our earlier in vivo studies. It was hypothesized that, as Vitamin E (VE) and VE derivative are fat soluble lipophilic molecules, they exert their function by modulating the lipid metabolism and related pathways. This study aimed to evaluate the cellular impact of this VE derivative (2,5,7,8-Tetramethyl-2-(4 '-Methyl-3 '-Pentenyl)-6-Acetoxy Chromane-TC6OH), using alpha-tocopherol as a reference com...
BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF FREE-RADICALS BASAGA, HS (Canadian Science Publishing, 1990-07-01) Toxic free radicals can be produced by many reactions required for the maintenance of normal metabolism and the production of energy in the cell. The reactivity of both primary and secondary radicals with biomolecules and in whole tissue systems is of interest, not only because of their importance in radiobiology but also because of the role these species play in toxicity and various disorders. Oxidant stress is known to increase the production of free radicals. In the presence of metals, especially iron, t...
Rapid monitoring of diabetes-induced lipid peroxidation by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy: Evidence from rat liver microsomal membranes Severcan, F; Gorgulu, G; Gorgulu, ST; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) Increased oxidative stress is the consequence of either enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production or attenuated ROS scavenging capacity, resulting in tissue damage that in most instances is assessed by the measurement of lipid peroxides. In the current study, diabetes-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomal membranes was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy at different temperatures. The olefinic (=CH) band at 3012 cm(-1) was used to probe diabetes-induced lipid...
The effect of cysteine-43 mutation on thermostability and kinetic properties of citrate synthase from Thermoplasma acidophilum Kocabıyık, Semra; Russel, RJM; Danson, MJ; Hough, DW (Elsevier BV, 1996-07-05) In this study, we have substituted serine-43 by cysteine in the recombinant citrate synthase from a moderately thermophilic Archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum, for site-specific attachment of labels and have investigated the effects of this mutation on the biochemical properties and thermal stability of the enzyme. Both wild-type and the mutant enzymes were purified to homogenity using affinity chromatography on Matrex Gel Red A. The mutant Thermoplasma citrate synthase is very similar to wild-type citrate s...
