| Abstract: | Polyampholytes are emerging macromolecular membrane non-penetrating cryoprotectants; however, the mechanism behind their cryopreservation remains unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanism using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The polymer-chain dynamics and the water and ion mobilities in the presence of various membrane penetrating and non-penetrating cryoprotectants were monitored at low temperatures to mimic cryopreservation conditions. NMR experiments revealed that the water, Sodium-ion, and polymer-chain signals in a carboxylated poly-ʟ-lysine (COOH-PLL) solution broadened upon cooling, indicating increasingly restricted mobility and increased solution viscosity. Moreover, strong intermolecular interactions facilitated the COOH-PLL glass transition, trapping water and salt in the gaps of the reversible matrix, preventing intracellular ice formation and osmotic shock during freezing; this reduced cell stress is responsible for cryoprotection. This simple NMR technique enabled the correlation of the cryoprotective properties of polymers that operate through mechanisms different from those of current cryoprotectants, and will facilitate the future molecular design of cryoprotectants. |
