Self-assembly and bilayer-micelle transition of fatty acids studied by replica-exchange constant pH molecular dynamics

Recent interest in the development of surfactant-based nanodelivery systems targeting tumor sites has sparked our curiosity in understanding the detailed mechanism of the self-assembly and phase transitions of pH-sensitive surfactants. Toward this goal, we applied a state-of-the-art simulation techn...

520 |a Recent interest in the development of surfactant-based nanodelivery systems targeting tumor sites has sparked our curiosity in understanding the detailed mechanism of the self-assembly and phase transitions of pH-sensitive surfactants. Toward this goal, we applied a state-of-the-art simulation technique, continuous constant pH molecular dynamics (CpHMD) with the hybrid-solvent scheme and pH-based replica-exchange protocol, to study the de novo self-assembly of 30 and 40 lauric acids, a simple model titratable surfactant. We observed the formation of a gel-state bilayer at low and intermediate pH and a spherical micelle at high pH, with the phase transition starting at 20-30% ionization and being completed at 50%. The degree of cooperativity for the transition increases from the 30-mer to the 40-mer. The calculated apparent or bulk pKa value is 7.0 for the 30-mer and 7.5 for the 40-mer. Congruent with experiment, these data demonstrate that CpHMD is capable of accurately modeling large conformational transitions of surfactant systems while allowing the simultaneous proton titration of constituent molecules. We suggest that CpHMD simulations may become a useful tool in aiding in the design and development of pH-sensitive nanocarriers for a variety of biomedical and technological applications
