Mibel Aguilar opened a general discussion of the paper by Ronald J. Clarke: Did you try other negatively charged lipids to determine if the electrostatic interaction was speci c for PS? Also, what was the P: L ratio for the QCM and CD experiments? Would you have expected the helical content to be higher than you observed?Ronald J. Clarke replied: Yes, in fact we did investigate other negatively charged lipids. In the course of our studies we found that a simple but very effective method to screen for electrostatic interactions is to measure the static light scattering of suspensions of lipid vesicles or membrane fragments containing the Na+, K+-ATPase. If an interaction occurs, aggregation and occulation of the colloidal system occurs, resulting initially in a large increase in light scattering. 1 At relatively high concentrations of polyamino acids, the light scattering increase is followed by a slower decay in scattering, probably due to permeabilisation and disruption of the lipid membrane. For these measurements we repurposed a uorimeter in our laboratory and measured the scattering at 90 to the incident light at 826 nm, corresponding to a high intensity line of the instrument’s xenon arc lamp. To determine whether the peptide interaction with the membrane is speci c to phosphatidylserine, we carried out light scattering measurements using vesicles composed of 85 mol% dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and 15 mol% of either dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS), dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG) or dioleoylphosphatidic acid (DOPA). Vesicles containing DOPS, DOPG or DOPA all showed similar large increases in light scattering a er the addition of poly-L-lysine, indicating that the electrostatic interaction of lysine with the membrane is not speci c to PS. 2 Lysine also
