| Zusammenfassung: | In this study, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is successfully employed to investigate the structure of the DPPC/diC7PC disc-shaped bicelles incorporated with different amounts of C16-PEG2000-Ceramide lipids. The incorporation of the C16-PEG2000-Ceramide lipids could provide an antifouling capability to the bicelle for biomedical applications. However, traditionally it is believed that most of the incorporated PEGlylated lipids should lie in the rim of the disc-shaped bicelle. In this study, high sensitivity SAXS reveals the distribution of the added C16-PEG2000-Ceramide lipids in both the planar region and in the rim of the bicelle. The PEG brushes of C16-PEG2000-Ceramide lipids form a second shell outside the lipid headgroup shell of the bicelle. A double shell disc bicelle model is used in analyzing the SAXS data. The lipid density of C16-PEG2000-Ceramide in the rim is found to be about 1.7 times the C16-PEG2000-Ceramide lipid density in the planar region for all three C16-PEG2000-Ceramide concentrations, 1, 2, and 3 mM. Moreover, the bicelle core radius can be predicted well using the actual molecular ratio of lipids in the planar region to the lipids in the rim of the bicelles in the model calculation |
