Membrane Surface Charge

Influence of sodium salts of selected chaotropic anions from the Hofmeister series (NaCl, NaBr, NaNO3, NaI) on the surface charge density of phosphatidylcholine membranes was studied. Small unilamellar lipid vesicles were used as a model system in the investigations. The theoretical and experimental approach to the interactions between inorganic anions and phosphatidylcholine membranes is presented. Experimental membrane surface charge densities data were determined as a function of pH of the aqueous electrolytes using microelectrophoresis method. The quantitative description of the interactions between zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine membrane and monovalent anions is presented. The equilibria constants of the binding of solution ions onto phospholipid surface were calculated. Knowledge of these parameters was essential to determine the theoretical membrane surface charge density values. The theoretical data were compared to the experimental ones in order to verify the mathematical model. Both approaches indicate that the anion-phosphatidylcholine membrane interaction increases with the size of the anion. The adsorption of chaotropic anions to membranes was found to follow the Hofmeister series I− > NO3− > Br− > Cl−.

Membrane Surface Charge

Surface charge properties of DL nanofiltration membrane were studied using streaming potential method. The results indicate that in the experimental concentration range, the relationship between NF membrane surface charge density and electrolyte solution concentration is in good agreement with Freundlich-isotherm adsorption, which indicates that the membrane surface charge comes from the adsorption of ions of the solution. In addition, the analysis of anion and cation adsorption on nanofiltration membrane surface showed that adsorption of common ions to the Inner Helmholtz Plane through specific adsorption increases the charge density, while adsorption of counter ions to the Outer Helmholtz Plane through electrostatic interactions leads to electric double-layer contracting inward, decreasing the membrane surface charge density.
