Aiming for structural analysis of amphotericin B (AmB) ion-channel assemblies in membrane, a covalent dimer was synthesized between (13)C-labled AmB methyl ester and (19)F-labled AmB. The dimer showed slightly weaker but significant biological activities against fungi and red blood cells compared with those of monomeric AmB. Then the dimer was subjected to (13)C{(19)F}REDOR (Rotational-Echo Double Resonance) experiments in hydrated lipid bilayers. The obtained REDOR dephasing effects were explained by two components; a short (13)C/(19)F distance (6.9Å) accounting for 23% of the REDOR dephasing, and a longer one (14Å) comprising the rest of the dephasing. The shorter distance is likely to reflect the formation of barrel-stave ion channel.
为了对两性霉素 B(AmB)离子通道在膜中的结构进行分析,合成了(13)C 标记的 AmB 甲酯和(19)F 标记的 AmB 的共价二聚体。与单体 AmB 相比,二聚体对真菌和红细胞的活性略有减弱,但仍具有显著的生物学活性。然后,将二聚体在水合脂质双层中进行(13)C{(19)F}REDOR(旋转回波双共振)实验。通过两个分量解释了获得的 REDOR 去相位效应;一个较短的(13)C/(19)F 距离(6.9Å)占 REDOR 去相位的 23%,一个较长的距离(14Å)占去相位的其余部分。较短的距离可能反映了桶状-棒状离子通道的形成。
