AbstractGuanidyl moieties of both arginine (Arg) and Nα-benzoyl-l-argininate ethyl ester chloride (BAEE) are protonated in all environments studied, i.e., dry solid state, D2O solutions, and dry and hydrated lipids as suggested by DFT(B3LYP)/6-31+G(d,p) calculations. Arg and BAEE are able to insert in the lipid interphase of both DMPC and DOPC monolayers as revealed by the observed decrease in the membrane dipole potential they induce. The larger decrease in the dipole potential induced by BAEE, compared to Arg, can be explained partially by the higher affinity of the hydrophobic benzoyl and ethyl groups for the membrane phase, which allows an easier insertion of this molecule. FTIR studies indicate that the guanidyl moiety of Arg is with all probability facing the hydrophobic part of the lipids, whereas in BAEE this group is facing the water phase. Zeta potential measurements provide a direct evidence that Arg orients in the lipid interphase of phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers with the negative charged carboxylate group (−COO−) toward the aqueous phase. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/18067 | DOI: | 10.1021/jp101007b | Rights: | openAccess |
