AbstractMembrane solubilization by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is indispensable for many established biotech-nological applications, including viral inactivation and protein extraction. Although the ensemble thermo-dynamics have been thoroughly explored, the underlying molecular dynamics have remained inaccessible, owing to major limitations of traditional measurement tools. Here, we integrate multiple advanced biophysical approaches to gain multi-angle insight into the time-dependence and fundamental kinetic steps associated with the solubilization of single sub-micron sized vesicles in response to SDS. We find that the accumulation of SDS molecules on in-tact vesicles triggers biphasic solubilization kinetics comprising an initial vesicle expansion event followed by rapid lipid loss and micellization. Our findings support a general mechanism of detergent-induced membrane solubilization and we expect the framework of correlative biophysical technologies presented here will form a general platform for elucidating the complex kinetics of membrane perturbation induced by a wide variety of surfactants and disrupting agents.

The solubility of chlorophenols as affected by surfactant was investigated. Three kinds of surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, Triton X-100, and Brij 35, were utilized. The solubilization of chlorophenols by surfactant follows the order of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenol > 2,6-dichlorophenol > 2-chlorophenol; and the critical micelle concentration is an important index. The adsorption reactions of 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6- trichlorophenol onto hydrous montmorillonite in the presence of surfactant were examined. The presence of surfactant decreased the adsorption of chlorophenols significantly. The roles of hydrophobicity of chlorophenols in solubilization and adsorption behaviors are discussed.

Different submicellar solubilization mechanisms of two systems, Triton X-100/tetradecane and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/butyl methacrylate, are revealed on the molecular scale by 1H NMR spectroscopy and 2D diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY).
