Default Interactions of gemini surfactants with two model proteins: NMR, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopies

Interactions of gemini surfactants with two model proteins: NMR, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopies

1 March 2012
Publication year: 2012
Source:Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, Volume 369, Issue 1



Gemini surfactants have two polar head groups and two hydrocarbon tails. Compared with conventional surfactants, geminis have much lower (?M vs. mM) critical micelle concentrations and possess slower (ms vs. ?s) monomer ? micelle kinetics. The structure of the gemini surfactants studied is [HOCH2CH2–, CH3–, CH3(CH2)15–N+–(CH2)s–N+–(CH2)15CH3,–CH3,–CH2CH2OH]·2Br- where s =4, 5, or 6. Our objective is to reveal the effect of these cationic gemini surfactants on the structure and stability of two model proteins: Ribonuclease A (RNase A) and Hen Egg White Lysozyme (HEWL). 2D 1H NMR and Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopies show that the conformation of RNase A and HEWL is unaffected at low to neutral pH where these proteins are positively charged, although hydrogen exchange shows that RNase A’s conformational stability is slightly lowered. At alkaline pH, where these proteins lose their net positive charge, fluorescence and CD spectroscopies and ITC experiments show that they do interact with gemini surfactants, and multiple protein•gemini complexes are observed. Based on the results, we conclude that these cationic gemini surfactants neither interact strongly with nor severely destabilize these well folded proteins in physiological conditions, and we advance that they can serve as useful membrane mimetics for studying the interactions between membrane components and positively charged proteins.
Graphical abstract

Highlights

? Cationic gemini surfactants do not interact with RNase A and HEWL at acidic pH. ? Hydrogen exchange NMR indicated that the stability of RNase A is lowered by about 1kcalmol-1. ? At alkaline pH, RNase A and HEWL do interact with gemini surfactants. ? Three different ProteinGemini complexes are formed including large aggregates.

Characterization of the ground state dynamics of proteorhodopsin by NMR and optical spectroscopies
Characterization of the ground state dynamics of proteorhodopsin by NMR and optical spectroscopies Abstract We characterized the dynamics of proteorhodopsin (PR), solubilized in diC7PC, a detergent micelle, by liquid-state NMR spectroscopy at T = 323 K. Insights into the dynamics of PR at different time scales could be obtained and dynamic hot spots could be identified at distinct, functionally relevant regions of the protein, including the BC loop, the EF loop, the N-terminal part of helix F and the C-terminal part of helix G. We further characterize the dependence of the photocycle...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Varian Gemini 300 Transmitter Board Indicator Lights
Varian Gemini 300 Transmitter Board Indicator Lights I am having problems with a Varian Gemini 300 console. During the troubleshooting process, I noticed that the number of green lights activated on all of the transmitter boards has changed. In the schematic manual, these lights are labeled as XMTR, LOCK, OFF, and L0. However, I cannot find any more information as to what exactly these lights indicate. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum
