Fast flip-flop of halogenated cobalt bis(dicarbollide) anion in a lipid bilayer membrane.
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics : PCCP 2017 September 21
Transmembrane translocation (flip-flop) of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) (COSAN) anions, elicited by application of a voltage-jump across the lipid bilayer membrane, manifested itself in monoexponential electrical current transients in the microsecond time scale. Halogenation of COSAN led to multi-fold acceleration of the flip-flop, the effect increasing with the molecular weight of the halogens. The exception was a fluorinated analog which exhibited slowing of the translocation kinetics. Measurements of the fluorescence ratio of the dye di-4-ANEPPS in lipid vesicles showed significant differences in the adsorption of studied hydrophobic anions. Based on these data, it can be concluded that COSAN and COSAN-F2 were located on the surface of the lipid membrane in the cisoid conformation increasing the dipole potential of the lipid membrane, while other halogenated COSAN analogs were adsorbed in the transoid conformation. Differences in the flip-flop kinetics of COSAN analogs were attributed to variation in the molecular volume of the anions and their orientation on the membrane surface.
