Divalent cations affect the stability and structure of phospholipid vesicles and also the binding and immobilization of proteins into phospholipid membranes. The effect of calcium, magnesium, and zinc on zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC) coatings in fused silica capillaries for electrophoresis was the primary interest in this work. In addition, the effect of temperature on the coating stability was investigated by coating 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) liposomes at temperatures above and below the gel- to fluid-state transition. All coatings were performed with PC large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) in 40 mM N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (HEPES) at pH 7.4 as basic solution. HEPES (40 mM) at pH 7.4 was used as background electrolyte (BGE) throughout the study. The stability of the coating was studied by measuring the electroosmotic flow. A molar ratio of 1:3 PC/Ca2+ or PC/Mg2+ gave the best coating stability owing to the increased rigidity of the phospholipid membrane furnished by the divalent metal ions. Better results were obtained with DPPC in the more rigid gel state than in the fluid state: the electroosmotic flow was much suppressed and the PC coating was stabilized. Coating the fused silica capillary with PC liposome-metal ion buffer solutions resulted in good electrophoretic separation of basic model proteins (pI-values 7.8-11.0). The electrophoretic results demonstrate the importance of stabilizing the phospholipid coating on fused silica capillaries, either by the addition of divalent metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, or Zn2+) or by working in the gel-state region of the phospholipid.
