Polymerization of a cysteinyl peptidolipid Langmuir film.

The surface pressure-area isotherm of a cysteinyl peptidolipid on a pure water subphase (pH 5.8) was compared with that on a water subphase saturated with oxygen and buffered with ammonium bicarbonate (pH 7.8). A reduction of the limiting molecular area was observed for the isotherm measured on the subphase saturated with oxygen. Hysteresis in the compression-decompression cycles of the Langmuir film was also observed. Taking into consideration the chemical structure of the peptidolipid, we rationalized that the free sulfhydryl groups of the peptidolipid were oxidized in the presence of oxygen in the alkaline subphase to form intermolecular disulfide bonds at the air-water interface. The surface topography of the peptidolipid Langmuir film was observed by epi-fluorescence microscopy and the Langmuir-Blodgett film by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The micrographs showed evidence of the polymerization of the cysteinyl peptidolipid at the air-water interface. Furthermore, the XPS spectra of the Langmuir-Blodgett films also proved the existence of disulfide bonds. The control peptidolipid C(18)-Ser-Gly-Ser-OH showed identical surface pressure-area isotherms in the presence or absence of an oxygen-saturated subphase.

Investigation of the association and flexibility of cationic lipidic peptide dendrons by NMR spectroscopy.

The cationic peptide dendrons synthesized and studied are lower generation polylysine-based partial dendrimers with or without lipid chains in the core. The dendrons with lipidic chains can be utilized as protein and liposomal mimics because of their unique structural properties. The full assignments of three different dendrons (L)7(NH2)8, (C14)1(L)7(NH2)8 and (C14)3(L)7(NH2)8 were obtained in D2O and H2O/D2O using a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer. The hydrophobic lipidic core of branched polylysine dendrons was found to induce aggregation upon increasing concentration. Because non-lipidic dendrons do not self-assemble, the behaviour and internal structural features of two different dendrons with one and three C14 hydrocarbon chains were explored. The critical association concentration clearly depends on the number of core hydrophobic residues and the association starts at 0.025 mM for (C14)1(L)7(NH2)8 and 0.05 mM for (C14)3(L(7(NH2)8. Chemical shift analysis also revealed that the hydrophobic chains of the dendrons associate in the core, whereas the polar head groups (NH2) are mainly located at the surfaces of the aggregates. The T1 relaxation time measurements showed that the mobility of the hydrocarbon chain is greater with the monomeric form of dendron (C14)1(L)7(NH2)8) than that of monomer (C14)3(L)7(NH2)8. The inter-chain hydrophobic interactions restrict the flexibility of the dendron with three hydrocarbon chains. As expected, the flexibility of the monomeric form is higher than that of the aggregated state for both of the dendrons.

Fusion of small unilamellar vesicles onto laterally mixed self-assembled monolayers of thiolipopeptides.

Monolayers of the thiolipopeptide NH(2)-Cys-Ala-Ser-Ala-Ala-Ser-Ser-Ala-Pro-Ser-Ser-(Myr)Lys(Myr)-OH (III) were formed on gold surfaces by self-assembly, mixed with a lateral spacer of the same peptide composition, NH(2)-Cys-Ala-Ser-Ala-Ala-Ser-Ser-Ala-Pro-Ser-Ser-Lys-OH (I). Different mixing ratios were employed ranging from 0.1 to 1, corresponding to 10-100% thiolipopeptide. These self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were then exposed to a suspension of liposomes with the aim of forming lipid bilayers as a function of the mixing ratio. A clear optimum with respect to homogeneity and electrical properties of the membranes was obtained in the middle region (0.5) of mixing ratio, as revealed by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, impedance spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. The combination of these methods was shown to be a powerful tool, although a true lipid bilayer was not obtained. Instead, vesicle adsorption was shown to be the predominant process, and FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching) measurements showed that the films were not fluid on the micrometer length scale.
