The assembly and use of tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs).
Because they are firmly held in place, tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) are considerably more robust than supported lipid bilayers such as black lipid membranes (BLMs) (Cornell et al. Nature 387(6633): 580-583, 1997). Here we describe the procedures required to assemble and test tethered lipid bilayers that can incorporate various lipid species, peptides, and ion channel proteins.
متن کاملIn-plane homogeneity and lipid dynamics in tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs).
Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) were prepared by the self-assembly of thiolated lipidic anchor molecules on gold, followed by phospholipid precipitation via rapid solvent exchange. They were characterized by their in-plane structure, dynamics and dielectric properties. We find that the in-plane homogeneity and resistivity of the tBLMs depend critically on a well-controlled sample envir...
متن کاملStable insulating tethered bilayer lipid membranes.
Tethered bilayer lipid membranes have been shown to be an excellent model system for biological membranes. Coupling of a membrane to a solid supports creates a stable system that is accessible for various surface analytical tools. Good electrical sealing properties also enable the use of the membranes in practical sensing applications. The authors have shown that tethered membranes have extende...
متن کاملBiotechnology Applications of Tethered Lipid Bilayer Membranes
The importance of cell membranes in biological systems has prompted the development of model membrane platforms that recapitulate fundamental aspects of membrane biology, especially the lipid bilayer environment. Tethered lipid bilayers represent one of the most promising classes of model membranes and are based on the immobilization of a planar lipid bilayer on a solid support that enables cha...
متن کاملA new lipid anchor for sparsely tethered bilayer lipid membranes.
Mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of beta-mercaptoethanol and the new synthetic lipid 1,2-dipalmityl-3-[w-mercaptonona(ethylene oxide)] glycerol (FC 16) were investigated for their ability to form sparsely tethered bilayer lipid membranes (stBLMs) completed with various phospholipids. We investigated the structural and functional properties of FC16-based stBLMs and compared these to stBLMs...
