covalently functionalized with p-nitrophenyl benzoate (PNPB) moieties. Liposomes composed of 1 part functional lipid and 7 parts nonfunctional DPPC or DOPC were created at pH 6 and subjected to an exovesicular/endovesicular 12/6 pH gradient
Described herein are nanoparticles that are coated with a bilayer of molecules formed from surface binding molecules and amphiphatic molecules. The bilayer coating self assembles on the nanoparticles from readily available materials/molecules. The modular design of the bilayer coated nanoparticles provides a means for readily and efficiently optimizing the properties of the bilayer coated nanoparticle compositions. Also described herein are uses of such nanoparticles in medicine, laboratory techniques, industrial and commerical applications.

Quinone-functionalized liposomes can be prepared by the sonic dispersion of a phosphatidylcholine anthraquinone (DPPC-AQ) with simple phospholipids such as DPPC (at 52-degrees-C) and DOPC (at room temperature). These small (ca. 25-30-nm diameter), unilamellar liposomes typically contain 4-12 mol % phospholipid quinone, which can be reduced and reoxidized by solution reagents. S2O4(2-) rapidly and completely reduces the liposome-bound quinones to the hydroquinone form; Fe(CN)6(3-) rapidly reoxidizes the hydroquinone. BH4- reduces only those quinones situated on the outer surface of the liposome. The rates of redox reactions of the liposome-bound quinones depend on temperature and solution reactant but not on mol % DPPC-AQ in the liposomes or the quinone concentration. The rate law for S2O4(2-) reduction of DPPC-AQ/DOPC, k(obs) = k1k2[S2O4(2-]/(k-1 + k2[S2O4(2-)]), indicates the presence of two kinetically distinct forms of DPPC-AQ. Comparison with the corresponding homogeneous rate constant suggests the identities of the two forms. Manipulation of the transmembrane, distribution of DPPC-AQ (72-98% Q(outer)) is demonstrated by using various phospholipid compositions. Liposomes prepared from the anthracene-functionalized phospholipid DPPC-AN provide a measure of the permeability of the functionalized liposomes. H-1 NMR spectroscopy (500-MHz) reveals the structure and composition of the quinone-functionalized DPPC liposomes. Nuclear Overhauser experiments reveal that the anthraquinone "head group" of DPPC-AQ in DPPC liposomes resides near the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface and does not extend into solution. Assimilation of these various results leads to a simple, consistent description of these novel biomimetic systems. Applicability of these and related systems as simple, chemical models for respiratory and photosynthetic energy transduction is discussed.
