A comparative study of interfacial environments in lipid nanodiscs and vesicles
Membrane protein conformations and dynamics are driven by the protein-lipid interactions occurring within the local environment of the membrane. These environments remain challenging to accurately capture in structural and biophysical experiments using bilayers. Consequently, there is an increasing...

description | Membrane protein conformations and dynamics are driven by the protein-lipid interactions occurring within the local environment of the membrane. These environments remain challenging to accurately capture in structural and biophysical experiments using bilayers. Consequently, there is an increasing need for realistic cell-membrane mimetics for in vitro studies. Lipid nanodiscs provide certain advantages over vesicles for membrane protein studies. Nanodiscs are increasingly used for structural and spectroscopic characterization of membrane proteins. Despite the common use of nanodiscs, the interfacial environments of lipids confined to a ∼10-nm diameter area have remained relatively underexplored. Here, we use ultrafast two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and temperature-dependent infrared absorption measurements of the ester carbonyls to compare the interfacial hydrogen bond structure and dynamics in lipid nanodiscs of varying lipid compositions and sizes with ∼100-nm vesicles. We examine the effects of lipid composition and nanodisc size. We found that nanodiscs and vesicles share largely similar lipid-water H-bond environments and interfacial dynamics. Differences in measured enthalpies of H-bonding suggest that H-bond dynamics in nanodiscs are modulated by the interaction between the annular lipids and the scaffold protein. |
