要旨

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive error of phenylalanine (Phe) metabolism, where untreated Phe becomes cytotoxic. Previous experiments found that excess Phe decreases the packing density and increases the fluidity and permeability of a lipid membrane. It was proposed that Phe forms cytotoxic nanoscopic amyloid-like fibrils. In another study, the Phe fibrils were not visible near the lipid membrane. So, what leads to the deleterious effect of Phe on the lipid membrane? We put forward a molecular mechanism for the observed effect of excess Phe on the lipid membrane using all-atom molecular dynamics simulation. This study suggests that Phe monomers spontaneously intercalate into the membrane and form small hydrogen-bonded clusters, some of which locally perturb the membrane. These local effects result in an overall reduction in the membrane packing density, enhancement of membrane fluidity, and an increase of water permeability, observed in experiments. The present study does not observe any effect of the nanoscopic fibrillar structure of Phe on the membrane. This study, therefore, provides alternative insights into the excess Phe cytotoxicity in PKU disease.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
