Miscibility gap in fluid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine:cholesterol as "seen" by x rays.

A binary mixture of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and cholesterol displays a fluid miscibility gap under excess water conditions. Effects due to the imperfect miscibility of the two amphiphiles are studied near to and far from thermodynamic equilibrium by time-resolved small angle x-ray diffraction. The experiment discloses that this mixture phase separates when leaving the miscibility gap upon heating, a transition that is not included in current phase diagrams. This transition appears to be reversible and shows a temperature hysteresis of only a few degrees. We suggest a model in which the transition is driven with increasing temperature by a movement of the cholesterol away from the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface toward the hydrophobic core of the bilayer.

Effects of random potential on transport.

The effects of random potential on the transport of two systems, which are the motion of motor proteins along a biopolymer and the thermally assisted vortex diffusion in layered high-Tc superconductors, are investigated, respectively. It is found that the effects of the random potential on the transport process as the amplitude of random potential increased are much more remarkable than those as the correlation length of random potential increased. The amplitude and the correlation length of random potential play opposing roles in the transport of the systems.

Dramatic rigidification of a peptide-decorated lamellar phase.

We have performed small-angle x-ray scattering on a lamellar (L(alpha)) phase made of a nonionic surfactant (C12E4), decane, and water, after the insertion of a triblock peptide. The hydrophilic part of the peptide is rigid and organized in an alpha helix in the presence of membranes. Surface tension measurements and spectrofluorometry show that the peptide lies on the membrane surface. The Caillé parameter eta and the smectic compressibility modulus (-)B decrease with peptide concentration, whereas the membrane bending rigidity kappa increases threefold for mole ratio of peptide to surfactant as low as 5.2 x 10(-4). The published models for rigid inclusions in membranes cannot account for this dramatic rigidification. However, experimental results are well fitted by a Heuristic renormalization of the membrane thickness.
