The interaction of phosphatidylserine dispersions with “hydrophobic”, organic cations (acetylcholine, tetraethylammonium ion) is compared with that of simple inorganic cations (Na+, Ca2+); differences in the hydration properties of the two classes of ions exist in the bulk phase as evident from spin-lattice relaxation timeT1, measurements. It is shown that the reaction products (cation-phospholipid) differ markedly in their physicochemical behaviour. With increasing concentration both classes of ions reduce the ζ-potential of phosphatidylserine surfaces, the monovalent inorganic cations being only slightly more effective than the hydrophobic cations. Inorganic cations cause precipitation of the lipid once the surface charge of the bilayer is reduced to a certain threshold value. This is not the case with the organic cations. The difference is probably associated with the different hydration properties of the resulting complexes. Thus binding of Ca2+causes displacement of water of hydration and formation of an anhydrous, hydrophobic calcium-phosphatidylserine complex which is insoluble in water, whereas the product of binding of the organic cations is hydrated, hydrophilic and water soluble. The above findings are consistent with NMR results which show that the phosphodiester group is involved in the binding of both classes of cations as well as being the site of the primary hydration shell. Besides affecting interbilayer membrane interactions such as those involved in cell adhesion and membrane fusion, the binding of both classes of cation can affect the molecular packing within a bilayer.
