Recruitment of SH-Containing Peptides to Lipid and Biological Membranes through the Use of a Palmitic Acid Functionalized with a Maleimide Group
Angew. Chem. 2015, 127, 328-332
DOI: 10.1002/ange.201408089 | | This study presents a novel and easily applicable approach to recruit sulfhydryl-containing biomolecules to membranes by using a palmitic acid which is functionalized with a maleimide group. Notably, this strategy can also be employed with preformed (biological) membranes. The applicability of the assay is demonstrated by characterizing the binding of a Rhodamine-labeled peptide to lipid and cellular membranes using methods of fluorescence spectroscopy, lifetime measurement, and microscopy. Our approach offers new possibilities for preparing biologically active liposomes and manipulating living cells. | | Zurück zur Übersicht » |
