In this report, we use a hybrid bilayer membrane (HBM) as an electrochemical platform to study anion diffusion through a lipid monolayer. We first append lipid on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) that contains a covalently bound Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox center. We then perform cyclic voltammetry (CV) using different anions in bulk solution and extract thermodynamic and kinetic information about anion transport. We analyze the results using linear combinations of fundamental chemical trends and determine that anion transport quantitatively correlates to polarity and basicity, a relationship we formalize as the lipid permeability parameter. In addition, we discuss how our findings can be interpreted according to the two leading mechanisms describing ion permeability through lipids. Our results demonstrate that anion transport in a HBM is best described by the solubility-diffusion mechanism, not the pore mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008051 Lipid Bilayers Layers of lipid molecules which are two molecules thick. Bilayer systems are frequently studied as models of biological membranes. Bilayers, Lipid,Bilayer, Lipid,Lipid Bilayer
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D000838 Anions Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis. Anion
D013816 Thermodynamics A rigorously mathematical analysis of energy relationships (heat, work, temperature, and equilibrium). It describes systems whose states are determined by thermal parameters, such as temperature, in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic parameters. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 12th ed) Thermodynamic
D017136 Ion Transport The movement of ions across energy-transducing cell membranes. Transport can be active, passive or facilitated. Ions may travel by themselves (uniport), or as a group of two or more ions in the same (symport) or opposite (antiport) directions.
