What is Cratylia Mollis Lectin at the Air–aqueous Solution Interface: Adsorption and Lectin–lipid Interactions about?
The interfacial behaviour of Cratylia mollis (Cra) at the air/water interface and its penetrant ability into spread phospholipid monolayers (Lipoid E80 and Epicuron 200) has been monitored by surface tension measurements. The first-order rate constants defining adsorption and rearrangement obtained from surface tension kinetics data reveal that Cra is a rather stable protein which exhibits characteristic protein adsorption patterns in which the breaking points separating diffusion-penetration and rearrangement profiles could have been easily distinguished. The penetration of Cra into Lipoid E80 and Epicuron 200 phospholipid monolayers has been inferred in terms of penetration pressure increments (DP) versus time relationships. The data clearly showed that penetrant ability of the lectin was, to a large extent, dependent on monolayer compressibilities. Thus, for Lipoid E80, which contained a rather high percentage of phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) in the mixture with phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), penetration of Cra at the high monolayer compression (20 mN m -1 ) was lower than that observed for Epicuron 200, which did not contain DPPE. Indeed, in the middle of the P-A isotherm, DPPE
