Electrochemical Analysis on the Interaction of Polymyxin B with Phosphatidylserine and Comparison to Other Phospholipids[J]. 2012,31(11):1352-1357.DOI:
A stable phospholipid bilayer membrane was constructed on Au electrode surface by using a headgroup modified phospholipid and applied as a biomembrane model to investigate the interaction of an antibiotic polymyxin B with phosphatidylserine.Polymyxin B interacted with phosphatidylserine and destroyed the bilayer structure,resulting in increasing membrane permeation.The extent of interaction was dependent on polymyxin B concentration,reaction time and presence of cholesterol.The destroyed bilayer membrane could undergo self-recovery to some extent in KCl solution and the self-recovery was dependent on recovery time and concentration of polymyxin B.In addition,the interactions between PMB and different phospholipids were compared.Headgroup,alkyl chain length and saturation of phospholipid all affected the interaction.
