  • Micelle Formation and the Hydrophobic Effect†

Dinner,§ and David Chandler*,‡ Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of California, Berkeley, California 94720, and Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 ReceiVed: NoVember 14, 2003; In Final Form: January 14, 2004 The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint that frustrates the demixing of polar and hydrophobic groups. We present a theory for micelle assembly that combines the account of this constraint with a description of the hydrophobic driving force. The latter arises from the length scale dependence of aqueous solvation. The theoretical predictions for temperature dependence and surfactant chain length dependence of critical micelle concentrations for nonionic surfactants agree favorably with experiment. I. Introduction in accord with experimental observations. An appendix is used to augment the discussion in section II. This paper concerns the formation of micelles, which are the simplest form of amphiphilic assemblies. Our treatment of this II. Theory phenomenon is based upon the length scale dependence of hydrophobic effects.1,2 Namely, the free energy to solvate small A. Law of Mass Action. We consider an aqueous solution hydrophobic molecules scales linearly with solute volume, of neutral amphiphilic molecules (i.e., nonionic surfactants), each whereas that to solvate large hydrophobic species scales linearly of which has a single alkyl chain as its hydrophobic tail. In with surface area. The crossover from one regime to the other general, amphiphiles can form aggregates of various sizes and occurs when the oily species presents a surface in water shapes.

This presentation is on working with integral MPs, which traditionally could be removed from the membrane only by dissolving the membrane with detergents or organic solvents. Multilamellar Vesicles: onion-like assemblies. Each layer is one bilayer. A thin layer of water separates each bilayer. MLVs are what form when lipid powders are dispersed in water. They form spontaneously. Cryo-EM Micrograph of a Multilamellar Vesicle (K. Mittendorf, C. Sanders, and M. Ohi) Unilamellar Multilamellar Vesicle Vesicle Advances in Anesthesia 32(1):133-147 · 2014 Energy from sonication, physical manipulation (such as extrusion by forcing MLV dispersions through filters with fixed pore sizes), or some other high energy mechanism is required to convert multilayered bilayer assemblies into unilamellar vesicles. If the MLVs contain a membrane protein then you should worry about whether the protein will survive these procedures in folded and functional form. Vesicles can also be prepared by dissolving lipids using detergents and then removing the detergent using BioBeads-SM dialysis, size exclusion chromatography or by diluting the solution to below the detergent’s critical micelle concentration. These are much gentler methods that a membrane protein may well survive with intact structure and function. From: Avanti Polar Lipids Catalog Bilayers can undergo phase transitions at a critical temperature, Tm. Native bilayers are usually in the fluid (liquid crystalline) phase.

  • The Mechanism Whereby Bile Acid Micelles Increase the Rate of Fatty Acid and Cholesterol Uptake Into the Intestinal Mucosal Cell
    The mechanism whereby bile acid micelles increase the rate of fatty acid and cholesterol uptake into the intestinal mucosal cell. H Westergaard, J M Dietschy J Clin Invest. 1976;58(1):97-108. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI108465. Research Article Studies were undertaken to define the mechanism whereby bile acid facilitates fatty acid and cholesterol uptake into the intestinal mucosal cell. Initial studies showed that the rate of uptake (Jd) of several fatty acids and cholesterol was a linear function of the concentration of these molecules in the bulk phase if the concentration of bile acid was kept constant. In contrast, Jd decreased markedly when the concentration of bile acid was increased relative to that of the probe molecule but remained essentially constant when the concentration of both the bile acid and probe molecule was increased in parallel. In other studies Jd for lauric acid measured from solutions containing either 0 or 20 mM taurodeoxycholate and saturated with the fatty acid equaled 79.8+/-5.2 and 120.8+/-9.4 nmol.min(-1).100 mg(-1), respectively: after correction for unstirred layer resistance, however, the former value equaled 113.5+/-7.1 nmol.min(- 1).100 mg(-1). Maximum values of Jd for the saturated fatty acids with 12, 16, and 18 carbons equaled 120.8+/-9.4, 24.1+/-3.2, and 13.6+/-1.1 nmol.min(-1).100 mg(-1), respectively. These values essentially equaled those derived by multiplying the maximum solubility times the passive permeability coefficients appropriate for each of these compounds. The theoretical equations were then derived that define the expected behavior of Jd for the various lipids under these different experimental circumstances where the mechanism of absorption was assumed to occur either by […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/108465/pdf The Mechanism Whereby Bile Acid Micelles Increase the Rate of Fatty Acid and Cholesterol Uptake into the Intestinal Mucosal Cell HEmN WESTEGAABD and JoHN M.

  • Micelle and Bilayer Formation of Amphiphilic Janus Particles in a Slit-Pore

Received: 5 June 2012; in revised form: 17 July 2012 / Accepted: 18 July 2012 / Published: 26 July 2012 Abstract: We employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the self-assembly of amphiphilic Janus particles in a slit-pore consisting of two plane-parallel, soft walls. The Janus particles are modeled as soft spheres with an embedded unit vector pointing from the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic hemisphere. The structure formation is analyzed via cluster size distributions, density and polarization profiles, and in-plane correlation functions. At low temperatures and densities, the dominating structures are spherical micelles, whereas at higher densities we also observe wall-induced bilayer formation. Finally, we compare the MD results with those from a previous density functional study. Keywords: Janus particles; amphiphilic systems; confinement; cluster formation; micelles; icosahedrons; bilayers 1. Introduction The term “Janus”-particles (named after the two-faced roman god) generally refers to particles composed of at least two chemically or physically distinctive surfaces. Significant experimental progress over the last years (see, e.g., [1–6]) nowadays allows us to create a wide class of Janus particles, including particles with “conventional” amphiphilic, but also with electric dipolar or quadrupolar, and even magnetic properties.

  • Membrane Protein Structure Determination and Characterisation by Solution and Solid-State NMR
    biology Review Membrane Protein Structure Determination and Characterisation by Solution and Solid-State NMR Vivien Yeh , Alice Goode and Boyan B. Bonev * School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK; [email protected] (V.Y.); [email protected] (A.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 October 2020; Accepted: 11 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Simple Summary: Cells, life’s smallest units, are defined within the enclosure of thin, continuous membranes, which confine the molecular machinery required for the life and replication of cells. Crucially, membranes of cells establish and actively maintain distinctly different environments inside cells, including electrical and solute gradients vital to normal cellular functions. Membrane proteins are in charge of transport, electrical polarisation, signalling, membrane remodelling and other important functions. As such, membrane proteins are key drug targets and understanding their structure and function is essential to drug development and cellular control. Membrane proteins have physical characteristics that make such studies very challenging. Nuclear magnetic resonance is one advanced tool that enables structural studies of membrane proteins and their interactions at the atomic level of detail. We discuss the applications of NMR in solution and solid state to membrane protein studies alongside new developments in signal and sensitivity enhancement through dynamic nuclear polarisation. Abstract: Biological membranes define the interface of life and its basic unit, the cell. Membrane proteins play key roles in membrane functions, yet their structure and mechanisms remain poorly understood. Breakthroughs in crystallography and electron microscopy have invigorated structural analysis while failing to characterise key functional interactions with lipids, small molecules and membrane modulators, as well as their conformational polymorphism and dynamics.

In Final Form: August 1, 2000 The phase behavior and phase structure for the catanionic pair sodium taurodeoxycholate-didodecyl- dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) are investigated, at 25 °C. A combination of techniques is used including light and electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and pulsed field gradient NMR self-diffusion. The bile salt micellar solution incorporates large amounts of the double-chained amphiphile, with the solution region extending to equimolarity. On the contrary, the hexagonal liquid-crystalline phase is destabilized by the addition of small amounts of DDAB. At equimolarity, coacervation instead of precipitation is observed, with formation of a viscous isotropic solution and a very dilute one. In the water-rich part of the phase diagram, a peculiar type of phase separation occurs, involving the formation of very fine bluish dispersions and a region of coexistence of two dispersions (double dispersion region). Microscopy and self-diffusion data for the solution region indicate limited growth of the mixed micelles.

The SLS results were successfully analyzed by the thermodynamic theory formulated with wormlike spherocylinder model for SLS of micelle solutions, thereby yielding the molar mass Mw of the micelles as a function of c and the cross-sectional diameter d, indicating that the micelles assume a flexible spher- 2 1=2 ocylindrical shape. The radius of gyration hS i and hydrodynamic radius RH of the micelles as functions of Mw were found to be also well described by the corresponding theories for the wormlike spherocylinder or wormlike chain mod- els. The micelles grow in size with increasing T to greater length for longer hydrophobic chain, i.e., alkyl group of the surfactants. They were rather flexible compared to the micelles formed with other polyoxyethylen alkyl ethers. The cross-sectional diameter d and spacings s between adjacent hexaoxyethylene chains on the micellar surface were sim- ilar in the C16E7 and C18E7 micelles.

Because the CMC is not a constant value, shifting with different environmental conditions, it is important that a rapid, reliable and easy methodology be available to facilitate testing. Here we describe the rapid semi-automated determination of CMC values for surfactants in 384-well microplates using fluorescence polarization. Introduction Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds that have a molecular structure containing both a hydrophilic (water loving) and a hydrophobic (water hating) region. The hydrophobic region is usually a long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon, whereas the hydrophilic portion can be composed of an ionic or non-ionic polar group. The physical nature of these molecules bestows the ability to reduce surface tension of solutions and to self aggregate into colloids known as micelles. A micelle is an aggregation of surfactant Figure 1. Schematic drawing of Micelle formation. Key Words: molecules in a colloidal suspension.

Biotechnology Research Institute, AUT University, Private Bag 92006, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Direct labeling of virus particles is a powerful tool for the visualization of virus–cell interaction events. However, this technique involves the chemical modification of viral proteins that affects viral biological properties. Here we describe an alternative approach of influenza virus labeling that utilizes Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs that can be gently inserted into the virus membrane. We assessed whether labeling with fl uorescent (fl uo-Ad-DOPE) or biotin-labeled (biot- CMG2-DOPE) probes has any deleterious effect on influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) receptor specificity, neuraminidase (NA) activity, or replicative ability in vitro. Our data clearly show that neither construct signifi cantly affected infl uenza virus infectivity or viral affi nity to sialyl receptors. Neither construct infl uenced the NA activities of the infl uenza viruses tested, except the A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) strain. Our data indicate that lipid labeling provides a powerful tool to analyze infl uenza virus infection in vitro.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Escola de Química, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, CEP: 21941-909, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brazil. (Submitted: February 26, 2015 ; Revised: June 10, 2015 ; Accepted: June 18, 2015) Abstract - Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that can spontaneously self-assemble in solution, forming structures known as micelles. Variations in temperature, pH, and electrolyte concentration imply changes in the interactions between surfactants and micelle stability conditions, including micelle size distribution and micelle shape. Here, molecular thermodynamics is used to describe and predict conditions of micelle formation in surfactant solutions by directly calculating the minimum Gibbs free energy of the system, corresponding to the most stable condition of the surfactant solution. In order to find it, the proposed methodology takes into account the micelle size distribution and two possible geometries (spherical and spherocylindrical). We propose a numerical optimization methodology where the minimum free energy can be reached faster and in a more reliable way. The proposed models predict the critical micelle concentration well when compared to experimental data, and also predict the effect of salt on micelle geometry transitions.

  • Preparation of Nanoliposomes by Microfluidic Mixing in Herring-Bone
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Preparation of nanoliposomes by microfuidic mixing in herring-bone channel and the role of membrane fuidity in liposomes formation Jan Kotouček1,8, František Hubatka1,8, Josef Mašek1, Pavel Kulich1, Kamila Velínská1, Jaroslava Bezděková1,2, Martina Fojtíková1, Eliška Bartheldyová1, Andrea Tomečková1, Jana Stráská3, Dominik Hrebík4, Stuart Macaulay5, Irena Kratochvílová 6*, Milan Raška 1,7* & Jaroslav Turánek1* Introduction of microfuidic mixing technique opens a new door for preparation of the liposomes and lipid-based nanoparticles by on-chip technologies that are applicable in a laboratory and industrial scale. This study demonstrates the role of phospholipid bilayer fragment as the key intermediate in the mechanism of liposome formation by microfuidic mixing in the channel with “herring-bone” geometry used with the instrument NanoAssemblr. The fuidity of the lipid bilayer expressed as fuorescence anisotropy of the probe N,N,N-Trimethyl-4-(6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatrien-1-yl) was found to be the basic parameter afecting the fnal size of formed liposomes prepared by microfuidic mixing of an ethanol solution of lipids and water phase. Both saturated and unsaturated lipids together with various content of cholesterol were used for liposome preparation and it was demonstrated, that an increase in fuidity results in a decrease of liposome size as analyzed by DLS. Gadolinium chelating lipids were used to visualize the fne structure of liposomes and bilayer fragments by CryoTEM. Experimental data and theoretical calculations are in good accordance with the theory of lipid disc micelle vesiculation. Liposomes, self-assembled nanoparticles based on lipid bilayers are widely employed for biomedical and bio- technological purposes1.
