The phase behavior of anionic/zwitterionic mixtures can be controlled by tuning the charge state of the anionic lipid. In the case of dioleoylphosphatidic acid (DOPA)/dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) mixtures, demixing occurs either when DOPA is protonated or when DOPA(2-):Ca(2+) complexes form. Herein it will be shown that the final end point, a three-phase or two-phase system, depends on the order in which the charge state is manipulated. The facile accessibility of different end points is a clear demonstration of the inherent flexibility of biological systems.
阴离子/两性离子混合物的相行为可通过调节阴离子脂质的电荷状态来控制。在二油酰磷脂酸(DOPA)/二油酰磷脂酰胆碱(DOPC)混合物的情况下,当DOPA质子化或形成DOPA(2 -):Ca(2 +)络合物时会发生相分离。本文将表明,最终终点,即三相或两相系统,取决于操纵电荷状态的顺序。不同终点的易达性清楚地证明了生物系统固有的灵活性。
