Abstract:
:The fluorophore 4-heptadecyl-7-hydroxycoumarin was used as a probe to study the properties of phospholipid bilayers at the lipid-water interface. To this end, the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy, the differential polarized phase fluorometry, and the emission lifetime of the fluorophore were measured in isotropic viscous medium, in lipid vesicles, and in the membrane of vesicular stomatitis virus. In the isotropic medium (glycerol), the probe showed an increase in the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy with a decrease in temperature, but the emission lifetime was unaffected by the change in temperature. In glycerol, the observed and predicted values for maximum differential tangents of the probe were identical, indicating that in isotropic medium 4-heptadecyl-7-hydroxycoumarin is a free rotator. Nuclear magnetic resonance and differential scanning calorimetric studies with lipid vesicles containing 1-2 mol % of the fluorophore indicated that the packaging density of the choline head groups was affected in the presence of the probe with almost no effect on the fatty acyl chains. The fluorophore partitioned equally well in the gel and liquid-crystalline phase of the lipids in the membrane, and the phase transition of the bilayer lipids was reflected in the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of the probe. The presence of cholesterol in the lipid vesicles had a relatively small effect on the dynamics of lipids in the liquid-crystalline state, but a significant disordering effect was noted in the gel state. One of the most favorable properties of the probe is that its emission lifetime was unaffected by the physical state of the lipids or by the temperature.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
