The trend of evidence suggests that general anesthetics act directly on proteins in the neural membrane. However, the fact that the functions of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (sodium permeability, desensitization rate) are modulated by the composition of the membrane in which it is reconstituted has been thought to be a result of the variation of interactions between acetylcholine receptor and membrane. In this study, protein–lipid interaction at the level of the lipid headgroup was investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and headgroup spin label. Lipid headgroup mobility was evaluated with rotational correlation time from the EPR spectrum. Protein–lipid interaction at headgroup depth was demonstrated from the motionally restricted component of the spectrum. Rotational correlation time increased to 13 ns from 7 ns due to protein–lipid interaction. The effect of anesthetic (ethanol, 1-hexanol, and isoflurane) on protein–lipid interaction was investigated, and the correlation time was 13 ns. It is concluded that the anesthetics used in this study did not alter protein–lipid interaction at the level of the lipid headgroup, so far as observed by rotational correlation time, without excluding the possibility that anesthetics that perturb protein–lipid interactions modulate receptor functions via this mechanism.
