Lysozyme specifically interacts with oleic acid vesicles, reducing their size and causing partial content leakage. This interaction differs from its effect on other vesicles, suggesting non-electrostatic binding mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Vesicles are crucial in biological systems and drug delivery.
  • Understanding protein-vesicle interactions is key to controlling their behavior.
  • Lysozyme is an enzyme with known antimicrobial properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the specific effects of lysozyme on negatively charged oleic acid/oleate vesicles.
  • To compare lysozyme's interaction with oleate vesicles to its interaction with phosphatidylserine vesicles.
  • To explore the nature of the interaction, distinguishing between electrostatic and specific binding.

Main Methods:

  • Turbidimetric analysis to measure changes in turbidity.
  • Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) to determine vesicle size distribution.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Fluorimetric techniques to assess vesicle content leakage.

    • Main Results:

    • Lysozyme decreased optical density and shifted oleate vesicle size toward smaller diameters.
    • Lysozyme increased turbidity and vesicle size for phosphatidylserine vesicles.
    • Histone H1 and poly-L-lysine induced aggregation in both vesicle types.
    • Calcein leakage indicated partial content release from lysozyme-treated oleate vesicles.

    Conclusions:

    • The interaction between lysozyme and oleate vesicles is specific, not solely electrostatic.
    • Lysozyme binding alters vesicle size and integrity, leading to content leakage.
    • Different vesicle compositions exhibit distinct responses to lysozyme and other polycations.
