Proteins and other macromolecules are believed to hinder molecular lateral diffusion in cellular membranes. We have constructed a well-characterized model system to better understand how obstacles in lipid bilayers obstruct diffusion. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching was used to measure the lateral diffusion coefficient in single supported bilayers composed of mixtures of 1,2-dilauroylphosphotidylcholine (DLPC) and 1,2-distearoylphosphotidylcholine (DSPC). Because these lipids are immiscible and phase separate at room temperature, a novel quenching technique allowed us to construct fluid DLPC bilayers containing small disk-shaped gel-phase DSPC domains that acted as obstacles to lateral diffusion. Our experimental setup enabled us to analyze the same samples with atomic force microscopy and exactly characterize the size, shape, and number of gel-phase domains before measuring the obstacle-dependent diffusion coefficient. Lateral obstructed diffusion was found to be dependent on obstacle area fraction, size, and geometry. Analysis of our results using a free area diffusion model shows the possibility of unexpected long-range ordering of fluid-phase lipids around the gel-phase obstacles. This lipid ordering has implications for lipid-mediated protein interactions in cellular membranes.
