Research Abstract |
The model peptide in artificial pulmonary surfactant (PS) changes its secondary structure from alpha-helix to beta-sheet upon lateral compression. However, in the presence of anionic lipids such as phosphatidylglycerol and palmitic acid, the conversion of the structure is found to prevent from the spectroscopic aspect. And fluorinated compound additive in PS also very effective for PS preparation. The mechanism and function of PS across the interface have been elucidated from the thermodynamic, morphological, and spectroscopic perspectives.
