Effect of anesthetics and pressure on the thermotropic behavior of multilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Mountcastle, D B, Biltonen, R L, Halsey, M J

The effects of gaseous anesthetics and pressure on the thermotropic behavior of multilamellar dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine liposomes were studied by using a high-sensitivity differential scanning...

A Monte Carlo simulation study of protein-induced heat capacity changes and lipid-induced protein clustering.

Heimburg, T, Biltonen, R L

Monte Carlo simulations were used to describe the interaction of peripheral and integral proteins with lipids in terms of heat capacity profiles and protein distribution. The simulations were based...

Simulation of the gel-fluid transition in a membrane composed of lipids with two connected acyl chains: application of a dimer-move step.

Jerala, R, Almeida, P F, Biltonen, R L

Phospholipids have been treated as dimers on a hexagonal lattice, and a move has been introduced that allows the dimers to move and change their orientation on the lattice. Simulations have been...

Lipid lateral heterogeneity in phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine/diacylglycerol vesicles and its influence on protein kinase C activation.

Dibble, A R, Hinderliter, A K, Sando, J J, Biltonen, R L

To test the hypothesis that the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) is influenced by lateral heterogeneities of the components of the lipid bilayer, the thermotropic phase behavior of...

Gel-liquid crystalline transition of some multilamellar lipid bilayers follows classical kinetics with a fractional dimensionality of approximately two.

Ye, Q, Van Osdol, W W, Biltonen, R L

The relaxation kinetics of the gel-liquid crystalline transition of phosphatidylcholine (DC14PC, DC16PC, and DC18PC) multilamellar vesicles have been examined using volume-perturbation calorimetry....

Effects of the anesthetic dibucaine on the kinetics of the gel-liquid crystalline transition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles.

Van Osdol, W W, Ye, Q, Johnson, M L, Biltonen, R L

The effects of the anesthetic dibucaine on the relaxation kinetics of the gel-liquid crystalline transition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DC16PC) multilamellar vesicles have been investigated...

Relaxation dynamics of the gel to liquid-crystalline transition of phosphatidylcholine bilayers. Effects of chainlength and vesicle size.

Van Osdol, W W, Johnson, M L, Ye, Q, Biltonen, R L

The relaxation kinetics of the gel to liquid-crystalline transition of five phosphatidylcholine (DC14PC to DC18PC) bilayer dispersions have been investigated using volume perturbation calorimetry, a...

Monte Carlo simulation of two-component bilayers: DMPC/DSPC mixtures.

Sugár, I P, Thompson, T E, Biltonen, R L

In this paper, we describe a relatively simple lattice model of a two-component, two-state phospholipid bilayer. Application of Monte Carlo methods to this model permits simulation of the observed...

A macroscopic description of lipid bilayer phase transitions of mixed-chain phosphatidylcholines: chain-length and chain-asymmetry dependence.

Chen, L, Johnson, M L, Biltonen, R L

A macroscopic model is presented to quantitatively describe lipid bilayer gel to fluid phase transitions. In this model, the Gibbs potential of the lipid bilayer is expressed in terms of a single...
