The Fourier transform infrared spectra were recorded using an IFS66 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA) equipped with a DTGS detector. A sample was placed between the window made of CaF2 and separated by a 50 µm Teflon spacer. The cuvette was thermostated at temperatures varying between 24 and 50 °C by changing the temperature of water circulating inside the cuvette body, and the corresponding temperature of the sample was controlled by a CHY502 electronic thermometer. Each spectrum was the average of 10 measurements, each with 16 scans and 2 cm−1 resolution. Background spectrum of the phosphate buffer solution was removed from the recorded spectra of the samples. The wavenumber positions for the symmetric and asymmetric CH2 stretching modes were measured using a peak fitting module in OriginPro 2018 software (Northampton, MA, USA). The symmetric CH2 stretching frequencies were plotted against the temperature. According to the first derivative of this relation, the main phase transition temperature of DPPG and DPPC liposomes before and upon binding of lipopeptide was found.

C, H, and N were determined using a Carlo Erba 1106 automatic analyzer available at the Australian National University whereas Pt was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). As QH4, QH7 and QH8, could not be obtained in crystalline form, IR, MS and 1H NMR spectra were used to aid in structural characterization. The IR spectra were obtained using a Varian FT-IR spectrometer (Bruker IFS66 spectrometer). To obtain mass spectra, solutions of QH4, QH7 and QH8 made in 90% methanol and 10% DMF were sprayed into a Finnigan LCQ mass spectrometer. To obtain 1H NMR spectra using a Bruker DPX400 spectrometer at 400.2 MHz. QH4 was dissolved in DMF, QH7 in CDCl3 and QH8 in D2O/DMF and prepared in 5 mm high precision Wilmad NMR tube. Spectra were referenced to internal solvent residues and all the spectra were recorded at 300 K (±1 K).

Transmission electron microscopy of the epiphyseal growth plate was performed following standard procedures45 . Briefly, growth plates isolated from neonatal mice were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M Na-cacodylate buffer pH 7.3. Next, the growth plate were post-fixed in 2% osmiumtetroxide in Na-cacodylate buffer, followed by dehydration in a graded ethanol series and staining with 1% uranyl acetate in 70% ethanol. Following further dehydration, the samples were impregnated overnight in a desiccator with freshly prepared Agar 100 (EPON 812 medium), initiated by means of a graded propylene oxide – Agar 100 series. Consequently, samples were transferred to freshly prepared Agar 100 and placed in a desiccator for 6 hours. Ultra-thin sections (70 nm) were made, positioned on a copper grid, and contrasted with 4% uranyl acetate and lead citrate. TEM images were made on a JEOL JEM 2100 electron microscope (JEOL) at 200 kV.
Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR) data were acquired from methyl metacrylate (MMA) tibia sections of neonatal mice, mounted on CaF2 windows, on a Bruker IFS66 spectrometer equipped with an IR microscope and liquid nitrogen cooled mercury cadmium telluride detector. Collagen content in the growth plate was calculated from the integrated area of the amide I absorption peak (1590–1695 cm−1), after baseline correction for the absorption spectrum of MMA.

Lipid Phase Transition Analysis by FTIR

Fourier transform infrared spectra were recorded on a IFS66 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA) equipped with a DTGS detector. The samples were placed between two CaF2 windows separated with a 50 µm Teflon spacer. The spectra were measured between 3000 and 2500 cm−1 at 2 cm−1 resolution as the average of 10 measurements each with 16 scans. The cuvette was thermostated to the appropriate temperature in the range of 27–46 °C by using a Julabo F33 thermostat (Seelbach, Germany), and the sample temperature was controlled with a CHY502 thermometer. The spectrum of the phosphate buffer solution at the appropriate temperature was each time subtracted from the final spectra. The wavenumber positions for symmetric and asymmetric CH2 stretching modes of the lipid hydrocarbon chains were measured using a multiple Gaussian curve fitting procedure in OriginPro 2021 software. Finally, the frequency of the symmetrical CH2 stretching modes was plotted against the temperature. For a more precise determination of the temperature of the main phase transition of the lipids, Tm, the first derivatives of the relationships were calculated. The main phase transition temperature of the DPPC and DPPG was determined before and after binding of the lipopeptides.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
