Lysozyme Interaction with Phospholipid Nanodroplets Probed by Sum Frequency Scattering Vibrational Spectroscopy

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Jan Dedic, Sergey Kulik

When a nanoparticle (NP) is introduced into a biological environment, its identity and interactions are immediately attributed to the dense layer of proteins that quickly covers the particle. The formation of this layer, dubbed the protein corona, is in ge ...

Molecular Mechanism for the Interactions of Hofmeister Cations with Macromolecules in Aqueous Solution

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur

Ion identity and concentration influence the solubility of macromolecules. To date, substantial effort has been focused on obtaining a molecular level understanding of specific effects for anions. By contrast, the role of cations has received significantly ...

Membrane–Protein–Hydration Interaction of α-Synuclein with Anionic Vesicles Probed via Angle-Resolved Second-Harmonic Scattering

Sylvie Roke, Jan Dedic, Halil Ibrahim Okur

Amyloid formation of the protein α-synuclein promotes neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. The normal function of α-synuclein includes synaptic vesicle transport and fusion, and the protein binds strongly to negatively charged vesicles in vitro. Here, ...

Optical imaging of surface chemistry and dynamics in confinement

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Igor Nahálka

We imaged the interfacial structure and dynamics of water in a microscopically confined geometry in three dimensions and on millisecond time scales with a 3D structurally illuminated wide-field second harmonic microscope. Image contrast reports on the orie ...

Liposomes and Lipid Droplets Display a Reversal of Charge-Induced Hydration Asymmetry

Sylvie Roke, Nathan Dupertuis, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan

The unique properties of water are critical for life. Water molecules have been reported to hydrate cations and anions asymmetrically in bulk water, being a key element in the balance of biochemical interactions. We show here that this behavior extends to ...

Three Dimensional Nano "Langmuir Trough" for Lipid Studies

Sylvie Roke, Yixing Chen, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

A three-dimensional-phospholipid monolayer with tunable molecular structure was created on the surface of oil nanodroplets from a mixture of phospholipids, oil, and water. This simple nanoemulsion preparation technique generates an in situ prepared membran ...

Theory of optical second-harmonic and sum-frequency scattering from arbitrarily shaped particles

Sylvie Roke

We present a theoretical framework for the generation and scattering of second-harmonic and sum-frequency light from the surface of particles of arbitrary shape in the limit of low index of refraction contrast. For homogeneous and isotropic surfaces, light ...

Characterization of the interface of binary mixed DOPC:DOPS liposomes in water: The impact of charge condensation

Sylvie Roke, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

Solutions of liposomes composed of binary mixtures of anionic dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) and zwitterionic dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) are investigated with label-free angle-resolved (AR) second harmonic scattering (SHS) and electrophoretic mo ...

Dynamic Second Harmonic Imaging of Proton Translocation Through Water Needles in Lipid Membranes

Sylvie Roke, David Roesel, Seonwoo Lee

Proton translocation through lipid membranes is a fundamental process in the field of biology. Several theoretical models have been developed and presented over the years to explain the phenomenon, yet the exact mechanism is still not well understood. Here ...

The Orientation and Charge of Water at the Hydrophobic Oil Droplet-Water Interface

Sylvie Roke

We established the charge and structure of the oil/water interface by combining zeta-potential measurements, sum frequency scattering (SFS) and molecular dynamics simulations. The SFS experiments show that the orientation of water molecules can be followed ...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate at water-hydrophobic interfaces: A simulation study

Sylvie Roke

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the water-vapor and water-oil (decane) interfaces of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The water-vapor interface is often used as a model for water-oil (hydrophobic) interfaces, yet we ...

Wide-field medium-repetition-rate multiphoton microscopy reduces photodamage of living cells

Sylvie Roke, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Siyuan Wang

Demands of higher spatial and temporal resolutions in linear and nonlinear imaging keep pushing the limits of optical microscopy. We showed recently that a multiphoton microscope with 200 kHz repetition rate and wide-field illumination has a 2–3 orders of ...

Polyelectrolytes induce water-water correlations that result in dramatic viscosity changes and nuclear quantum effects

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Jan Dedic

Ions interact with water via short-ranged ion-dipole interactions. Recently, an additional unexpected long-ranged interaction was found: The total electric field of ions influences water-water correlations over tens of hydration shells, leading to the Jone ...

The Jones–Ray Effect Is Not Caused by Surface-Active Impurities

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur

Pure aqueous electrolyte solutions display a minimum in surface tension at concentrations of 2 ± 1 mM. This effect has been a source of controversy since it was first reported by Jones and Ray in the 1930s. The Jones–Ray effect has frequently been dismisse ...
