Abstract
The interaction of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in a monolayer of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glysero-3-phospho-L-choline (DPPC), in a monolayer of 1,2-dierucoyl-sn-glysero-3-phospho-L-choline (DEPC), in a monolayer of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glysero-3-phospho-L-serine (POPS) and in a monolayer of total lipid extract from pig brain (PB) has been investigated by using the Langmuir monolayer technique. Surface pressure (π)-mean molecular area (mma) isotherms have been measured for pure lipid monolayers and lipid monolayers with 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mol% CoQ10 concentrations. At the biological concentration (1.0-3.0 mol%) of CoQ10, intercalation of CoQ10 occurs in the lipid acyl chains of DPPC, POPS and PB monolayers. Above the biological concentration of CoQ10, the CoQ10 molecule induces domain formation in the monolayers of DPPC, POPS and PB lipids. The DEPC monolayer behavior deviates from the other lipids in this study. At 2.0 mol% the CoQ10 promotes very dense lipid packing, and the CoQ10 molecule is located parallel to the DEPC acyl chains at all concentrations.
