The Effect of Highly Hydroxylated Fullerenol C₆₀(OH)₃₆ on Human Erythrocyte Membrane Organization

Figure 6

The influence of fullerenol on the membrane protein conformation (/ parameter) of MSL-labeled membranes. Erythrocyte membranes were incubated with MSL for 1 h at 4 °C, and then spin-labeled membranes were incubated with fullerenol at 50, 100, and 150 mg/L for 1 h at 37°C (“MSL before FulOH”). Bars are mean ± SD for three independent samples. Erythrocyte membranes were incubated with fullerenol at 50, 100, and 150 mg/L for 1 h at 37°C, and then membranes were incubated with MSL for 1 h at 4°C (“MSL after FulOH”). Bars are mean ± SD for four independent samples. Controls are membranes incubated only with MSL according to the scheme detailed above. values statistically different in comparison with control values, .
