Abstract

Abstract Image

A complete homologous series of fluorescent 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD)-labeled fatty amines of varying alkyl chain length, NBD-Cn, inserted in 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) bilayers, was studied using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For all amphiphiles, the NBD fluorophore locates near the glycerol backbone/carbonyl region of POPC and establishes stable hydrogen bonding with POPC ester oxygen atoms. Small differences observed in the transverse location of the fluorophore correlate with other calculated parameters and with small discrepancies recently measured in the photophysical properties of the molecules. The longer-chained NBD-Cn amphiphiles show significant mass density near the bilayer midplane, and the chains of these derivatives interdigitate to some extent the opposite bilayer leaflet. This phenomenon leads to a slower lateral diffusion for the longer-chained derivatives (n > 12). Effects of these amphiphiles on the structure and dynamics of the host lipid were found to be relatively mild, in comparison with acyl-chain-labeled NBD probes. The molecular details obtained by this work allow the rationalization of the nonmonotonic behavior, recently obtained experimentally, for the photophysical parameters of the amphiphiles and the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for their interaction with the POPC membranes.
