General description
Avanti′s nitroxide spin product listing is a group of compounds designed to act as membrane probes. A variety of positions down the hydrophobic chain are labeled with the nitroxide functional groups to allow probing the membrane at various depths. These compounds have been synthesized from 1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine with the product being purified by column chromatography. Various n-doxyl phosphocholines have been recently used as biophysical tools to elucidate membrane trafficking with phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins and as fluorescent quenchers in lipid bilayer structural studies.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a strong bilayer-forming lipid is the most common phospholipid in mammalian membranes. The excretory and secretory products of helminths has a small hapten-like portion called phosphorylcholine (PC). The 5th carbon of the sn-2 stearic acid chain of 1-palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-(5-doxyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine analog has a Doxyl PC, a spin probe attached to it covalently.
Application
16:0-5 Doxyl PC may be used:
- as a component in virus-like large unilamellar vesicles (VL LUVs) to quench 4-chloro-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) fluorescence emission
- in the preparation of multi-lamellar vesicles (MLVs) as a site-specific quencher to perform fluorescence quenching studies
- in the preparation of spin-labelled multi-lamellar vesicles (MLVs)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) lowers the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
Packaging
5 mL Clear Glass Sealed Ampule (810601P-1mg)
Preparation Note
Product use: To prevent aggregation, prepare water-based solutions of 2 mM stock solutions of n-DOXYL PCs and store in plastic. Dilute stock solutions to 0.03- 0.1 mM solutions for EPR studies. For liposome preparations in fluorescent quenching measurements, dissolve the doxyl lipid in 150 μl absolute ethanol for a concentration of 40.3 mM , Additional supplemental information.

PlsX plays a central role in the coordination of fatty acid and phospholipid biosynthesis in Gram-positive bacteria. PlsX is a peripheral membrane acyltransferase that catalyzes the conversion of acyl-ACP to acyl-phosphate, which is in turn utilized by the polytopic membrane

The positively charged nitroxide spin label, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-N-oxyl-4-trimethylammonium (Cat1), was encapsulated in two types of liposomes, phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine (PS/PC) and phosphatidylserine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine/dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (PS/DSPC/DPPC). The liposomes were incubated with mouse thymus-bone marrow (TB) cells to study the uptake and metabolism of nitroxides entrapped

The putative substrate-binding site in lipoxygenases is long and internal. There is little direct evidence about how the unsaturated fatty acid substrates enter and move within the cavity to position themselves correctly for electron transfer reactions with the catalytic non-heme
