Multilamellar Liposomes as a Model for Biological Membranes: Saturation Recovery EPR Spin-Labeling Studies
MEMBRANES(2022)
摘要
EPR spin labeling has been used extensively to study lipids in model membranes to understand their structures and dynamics in biological membranes. The lipid multilamellar liposomes, which are the most commonly used biological membrane model, were prepared using film deposition methods and investigated with the continuous wave EPR technique (T-2-sensitive spin-labeling methods). These investigations provided knowledge about the orientation of lipids, their rotational and lateral diffusion, and their rate of flip-flop between bilayer leaflets, as well as profiles of membrane hydrophobicity, and are reviewed in many papers and book chapters. In the early 1980s, the saturation recovery EPR technique was introduced to membrane studies. Numerous T-1-sensitive spin-label methods were developed to obtain detailed information about the three-dimensional dynamic membrane structure. T-1-sensitive methods are advantageous over T-2-sensitive methods because the T-1 of spin labels (1-10 mu s) is 10 to 1000 times longer than the T-2, which allows for studies of membrane dynamics in a longer time-space scale. These investigations used multilamellar liposomes also prepared using the rapid solvent exchange method. Here, we review works in which saturation recovery EPR spin-labeling methods were applied to investigate the properties of multilamellar lipid liposomes, and we discuss their relationships to the properties of lipids in biological membranes.
