Spatiotemporal dynamics of solvent-assisted lipid bilayer formation.
The solvent-assisted lipid bilayer (SALB) method offers a general strategy to fabricate supported lipid bilayers on solid surfaces. In this method, lipids dissolved in alcohol are deposited on the target substrate in parallel with their aggregation during exchange with aqueous buffer solution which promotes spontaneous bilayer formation. Herein, a combination of experimental and theoretical app...
متن کاملHigh-throughput formation of lipid bilayer membrane arrays with an asymmetric lipid composition
We present a micro-device in which more than 10,000 asymmetric lipid bilayer membranes are formed at a time on micro-chamber arrays. The arrayed asymmetric lipid bilayers, where lipid compositions are different between the inner and outer leaflets, are formed with high efficiency of over 97% by injecting several types of liquids into a micro-device that has hydrophilic-in-hydrophobic surfaces. ...
متن کاملAn evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملDynamics of Bilayer Membrane
The theory combines the Rouse model for a single chain with the liquid crystal theory for bilayer membrane developed by Marcelja. Thus the forces acting on a bead within a chain are spring forces, Brownian force and dissipative or viscous force which appear in Rousetheory plus the liquid crystal and lateral pressure forces. The dynamic viscosity of the system is calculated. 1 . Introduction. Ex...
متن کاملImaging Lipid Microdomains in a Microfluidic Bilayer Lipid Membrane Chip
A microfluidic bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) system supporting correlated opto-electrical membrane characterization has been developed and applied to the imaging of phase-separated lipid microdomains by confocal microscopy. The device consists of a microfluidic network supporting rapid perfusion fabricated in a thermoplastic substrate, bonded to a thin PVDC partition and supported by a thin cove...
