Aiming to improve understanding of the mechanisms behind specific anion effects in biological systems we have studied the effects of sodium salts of simple monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on the bilayers of the zwitterionic lipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine using small-angle x-ray scattering and the osmotic stress technique. NaCl, NaBr, NaNO3, NaI, and NaSCN were used in this investigation. The electrolytes were found to swell the bilayers and to increase the area per lipid headgroup at each value of the osmotic pressure, suggesting the association of anions with the bilayer-lipid interfaces. The effects follow the Hofmeister series with SCN- inducing the most pronounced changes. "Ion competition" experiments with mixed NaI/NaCl solutions at total salinity 0.1 and 0.5 M revealed that the effect of ions on the lipid equation-of-state is roughly linear at low concentrations, but strongly nonlinear at high concentrations. The experimental results are fitted in a companion article to provide "binding or "partitioning" constants of anions in the lipid bilayers. © 2007 by the Biophysical Society.
