Pressure Effects on Artificial and Cellular Membranes

  • Chapter
High Pressure Bioscience

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 72))

Abstract

We review the combined effect of temperature and pressure on the structure, dynamics and phase behavior of lipid bilayers, differing in chain length, headgroup structure and composition as revealed by thermodynamic, spectroscopic and scattering experiments. The effect of additives, such as ions, cholesterol, and anaesthetics is discussed as well. Our data include also reports on the effect of pressure on the lateral organization of heterogeneous lipid membranes and lipid extracts from cellular membranes, as well as the influence of peptide and protein incorporation on the pressure-dependent structure and phase behavior of lipid membranes. Moreover, the effects of pressure on membrane protein function are summarized. Finally, we introduce pressure as a kinetic variable for studying the kinetics of various lipid phase transformations.
