A mechanistic understanding of how the surface properties of engineered nanomaterials influence their interactions with cells is essential for designing materials for applications such as bioimaging and drug delivery, as well as for assessing nanomaterial safety. Ligand-coated gold nanoparticles have been widely investigated because their highly tunable surface properties enable investigations into the effect of ligand functionalization on interactions with biological systems. Lipophilic ligands have been linked to adverse biological outcomes through membrane disruption, but the relationship between ligand lipophilicity and membrane interactions is not well understood. Here, we use a library of cationic ligands coated on 2-nm gold nanoparticles to probe the impact of ligand end group lipophilicity on interactions with supported phosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers as a model for cytoplasmic membranes. Nanoparticle adsorption to and desorption from the model membranes were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. We find that nanoparticle adsorption to model membranes increases with ligand lipophilicity. The effects of ligand structure on gold nanoparticle attachment were further analyzed using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, which showed that increasing ligand lipophilicity promotes ligand intercalation into the lipid bilayer. Together, the experimental and simulation results could be described by a two-state model that accounts for initial attachment and subsequent conversion to a quasi-irreversibly bound state. We find that only nanoparticles coated with the most lipophilic ligands in our nanoparticle library undergo conversion to the quasi-irreversible state. We propose that initial attachment is governed by interaction between the ligands and phospholipid tail groups, while conversion into the quasi-irreversibly bound state reflects ligand intercalation between phospholipid tail groups and eventual lipid extraction from the bilayer. Systematic variation of ligand lipophilicity enabled us to demonstrate that the lipophilicity of cationic ligands correlates with nanoparticle-bilayer adsorption and suggests that changing the nonpolar ligand R group promotes a mechanism of ligand intercalation into the bilayer associated with irreversible adsorption.
