Abstract

Lipid membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) are used in biophysical study to mimic cellular membranes and interactions between the membrane and chemicals, where organics solvents are used in dissolving lipids or chemicals. Later, solvents are removed from the solution under nitrogen gas at room temperature, followed by the further removal of the solvent at vacuum condition for several hours. In this process, some solvents are easily removed under described conditions above and others are required more severe conditions. In this study, $^{31}P$ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) techniques and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to see any changes in the line shapes of $^{31}P$ NMR spectra of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) samples of POPC and in the phase change temperature of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) of DPPC in DSC thermogram with or without any residual solvents. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the solvents did exhibit noticeable changes depending on solvent types. Thus, it is concluded that solvents should be carefully chosen and removed completely and experimental results should also be interpreted with caution particularly for the experiments investigating lipid phase changes and related topics.

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) 인지질로 이루어진 모델 지질막은 세포막을 대신하여 지질막과 여러 분자간의 상호 작용을 연구하는 생물리 연구에 흔히 이용된다. 이들 모델 지질막을 제조하는 과정에서 지질 분자나 지질막과 작용하는 분자를 용해하는데 여러 가지 유기 용매가 이용된다. 용해 과정에 사용된 용매는 물론 제거되거나 소량 사용되기 때문에 실험 결과에 미치는 영향이 미미한 것으로 간주되어 보통 무시된다. 하지만 용매의 종류에 따라 소량의 용매가 용질 분자에 남아서 실험 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시차열분석기와 인($^{31}P$) 고체 핵자기 공명 실험을 통하여 유기 용매가 지질막의 상변이와 지질막의 물리적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 클로로폼에 용해한 지질의 경우 비교적 쉽게 제거되었으며, 에탄올, trifluoroethanol(TFE) 또는 trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)에 용해한 분자들의 경우 용질에 잔류하여 지질과 용질의 상호작용시 지질의 물리적 성질에 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 지질막과 상호작용하는 분자들의 연구에서 용매의 선택이 중요하며 비록 미량이 사용되었을지라도 시료 제조와 실험 결과의 해석에 각별한 주의가 필요함을 보여 준다.
