Proton Transfer in Gramicidin Water Wires in Phospholipid Bilayers: Attenuation by Phosphoethanolamine

Abstract: The transfer of protons in water wires was studied in native gramicidin A (gA), and in the SS- and RR-diastereoisomers of dioxolane-linked gA channels (SS and RR channels). These peptides were incorporated into membranes comprised of distinct combinations of phospholipid headgroups and acyl chains. Quantitative relationships between single channel conductances to H+ (g(H)) and [H+] were determined in distinct phospholipid membranes, and are in remarkable contrast with results previously obtained in monoglyceri… Show more

“…This proton transfer across the membrane was measured experimentally in dependence on the pH value and the membrane potential. [23][24][25][26] In this article, we describe a new DMC algorithm to simulate charge transfer in biomolecules. We discuss the theoretical background and the implementation of the method.…”

“…It appears to select small monovalent cations, bind bivalent cations, while reject anions. Because of its simplicity in structure and wide visibility in literature [13, 15, 25], we utilize it as the membrane channel to study the proton transport. In our approach, the GA structure is downloaded from the PDB, and the pdb file is processed by the PDB2PQR [21], in which the radii and partial charges are adopted from the CHARMM force field values [30].…”

“…There are other experimental data on proton conductance available [1,13,18] but under different experimental conditions. First, the experimental data provided by Cukierman et al [18] offer proton conductions recorded with natural Gramicidin A and with its Dioxolane-Linked dimer in different lipid bi-layers (phosphatidylethanolamine-phosphatidylcholine, or PEPC and glycerymonooleate, or GMO).…”
