Mapping surface charge density of lipid bilayers by quantitative surface conductivity microscopy
Local surface charge density of lipid membranes influences membrane-protein interactions leading to distinct functions in all living cells, and it is a vital parameter in understanding membrane-binding mechanisms, liposome design and drug delivery. Despite the significance, no method has so far been capable of mapping surface charge densities under physiologically relevant conditions. Here, we ...
متن کاملRelative surface charge density mapping with the atomic force microscope.
An experimental approach for producing relative charge density maps of biological surfaces using the atomic force microscope is presented. This approach, called D minus D (D-D) mapping, uses isoforce surfaces collected at different salt concentrations to remove topography and isolate electrostatic contributions to the tip-sample interaction force. This approach is quantitative for surface poten...
متن کاملFormation of supported phospholipid bilayers on molecular surfaces: role of surface charge density and electrostatic interaction.
Electrostatic interaction is known to play important roles in the adsorption of charged lipids on oppositely charged surfaces. Here we show that, even for charge neutral (zwitterionic) lipids, electrostatic interaction is critical in controlling the adsorption and fusion of lipid vesicles to form supported phospholipid bilayers (SPBs) on surfaces. We use terminally functionalized alkanethiol se...

متن کاملLocalized surface plasmon microscopy of submicron domain structures of mixed lipid bilayers
We propose scanning localized surface plasmon microscopy of mixed lipid bilayers with submicron domain structures. Our observation technique, which employs localized surface plasmons excited on a flat metal surface as a sensing probe, provides non-label and non-contact imaging with the spatial resolution of ∼ 170 nm. We experimentally show that submicron domain structures of mixed lipid bilayer...
