Polar head group interactions in mixed Langmuir monolayers.
We have investigated the miscibility in the mixed monolayers of cholesterol (Ch)-octyl cyano biphenyl (8CB) and cholesteryl acetate (ChA)-8CB using surface manometry and epifluorescence microscopic techniques. The main skeleton is the same both in Ch and ChA, whereas the polar head group is alcohol in Ch and ester in ChA. The 8CB molecule has a polar cyano as a terminal group and we probe its i...

متن کاملMicrophase separation in nonequilibrium biomembranes.
Compositional heterogeneities of cell membranes are thought to play an important role in many physiological processes. We study how variations in the membrane composition can be driven by nonthermal fluctuating forces and therefore show how these can occur relatively far from any critical point for the membrane. We show that the membrane steady state is not only controlled by the strength of th...
متن کاملPhotosystem I in Langmuir-Blodgett and Langmuir-Schaefer monolayers.
Photosystem I (PSI) is a membrane protein complex that generates photoinduced electrons and transfers them across the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis. The PSI complex, separated from spinach leaves, was spread onto the air-water interface as a monolayer and transferred onto a gold electrode surface that was precoated with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The electrochemical properties...
متن کاملCollapse mechanisms of Langmuir monolayers.
When a two-dimensional (2D) film is compressed to its stability limit, it explores the third dimension via collapse. Understanding this 2D-to-3D transition is of great importance as it provides insight into the origin of defects in thin films. This review draws attention to a reversible folding collapse first discovered in model lung surfactant systems and explores the driving forces for this m...
