 Abstract: The surface properties of four negatively charged glycosphingolipids from vertebrates, the sialo-glycosphingolipids (=gangliosides) GM1, GD1a, GT1b and a sulfo-glycosphingolipid (=sulfatide), and of the two negatively charged glycosphingolipids from lower invertebrates, the glucurono-glycosphingolipid Lipid IV and the aminophosphono-glycosphingo-lipid SGL-II were investigated in monolayers at the air/water interface. The molecular peculiarities under investigation were surface pressure (π) and surface potential (ΔV) which are described for Lipid IV and SGL-II for the first time. The surface pressure/area isotherms of all glycosphingolipids were typical of a liquid-expanded monolayer and, with the exception of SGL-II, exhibited a phase transition to a liquid-condensed state at surface pressures above 20 mN/m. The surface potential/molecular area data found for gangliosides in the closely packed state at π=30 mN/m (GM1: ΔV = −17 mV; GD1a: ΔV = −35 mV; GT1b: ΔV = −39 mV) showed only a slight influence of the additional number of negatively charged residues. For Lipid IV, the surface behavior was very similar to GM1 both possessing one negative group per molecule, whereas in SGL-II also the surface potential data (ΔV = −173 mV) were different compared with GD1a both possessing two negative groups per molecule. The addition of Ca2+ condensed the monolayers of all glycolipids and increased the potential in the direction to more positive values, but these findings were less effective in SGL-II films. On the basis of monolayer results presented here, in biological membranes of invertebrates especially Lipid IV might play a similar role as the ganglioside GM1 in vertebrate cells.
