Self-assembled vesicles of monocarboxylic acids and alcohols: conditions for stability and for the encapsulation of biopolymers
Open accessAbstract
We tested the ability of saturated n-monocarboxylic acids ranging from eight to 12 carbons in length to self-assemble into vesicles, and determined the minimal concentrations and chain lengths necessary to form stable bilayer membranes. Under defined conditions of pH and concentrations exceeding 150 mM, an unbranched monocarboxylic acid as short as eight carbons in length (n-octanoic acid) assembled into vesicular structures. Nonanoic acid (85 mM) formed stable vesicles at pH 7.0, the pK of the acid in bilayers, and was chosen for further testing. At pH 6 and below, the vesicles were unstable and the acid was present as droplets. At pH ranges of 8 and above clear solutions of micelles formed. However, addition of small amounts of an alcohol (nonanol) markedly stabilized the bilayers, and vesicles were present at significantly lower concentrations (approximately 20 mM) at pH ranges up to 11. The formation of vesicles near the pK(a) of the acids can be explained by the formation of stable RCOO(-)...HOOCR hydrogen bond networks in the presence of both ionized and neutral acid functions. Similarly, the effects of alcohols at high pH suggests the formation of stable RCOO(-)...HOR hydrogen bond networks when neutral RCOOH groups are absent. The vesicles provided a selective permeability barrier, as indicated by osmotic activity and ionic dye capture, and could encapsulate macromolecules such as DNA and a protein. When catalase was encapsulated in vesicles of decanoic acid and decanol, the enzyme was protected from degradation by protease, and could act as a catalyst for its substrate, hydrogen peroxide, which readily diffused across the membrane. We conclude that membranous vesicles produced by mixed short chain monocarboxylic acids and alcohols are useful models for testing the limits of stabilizing hydrophobic effects in membranes and for prebiotic membrane formation.

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“For instance, membranes composed of pure fatty acids are only stable near the pK of the carboxylate group in which there is a mixture of charged and neutral (protonated) head groups. The stabilization results from hydrogen bonding between the head groups, effectively producing the equivalent of transient species having two chains [33].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
