Versatility of p-sulfonatocalix[5]arene in building up multicomponent bilayers

Investigating the Structure of Multicomponent Gel-Phase Lipid Bilayers.

Single- and multicomponent lipid bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DSPC), isostearyl isostearate, and heptadecanoyl heptadecanoate in the gel phase are studied via molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that the structural properties of multicomponent bilayers can deviate strongly from the structures of the...

Cofabrication: a strategy for building multicomponent microsystems.

This Account describes a strategy for fabricating multicomponent microsystems in which the structures of essentially all of the components are formed in a single step of micromolding. This strategy, which we call "cofabrication", is an alternative to multilayer microfabrication, in which multiple layers of components are sequentially aligned ("registered") and deposited on a substrate by photol...

Amines as key building blocks in Pd-assisted multicomponent processes

In the last few years, palladium-mediated three-component synthesis has emerged as an important synthetic methodology to gain access to nitrogen-containing structures. The latest developments in this area are discussed in this review.

Existence, bifurcation, and geometric evolution of quasi-bilayers in the multicomponent functionalized Cahn-Hilliard equation.

Multicomponent bilayer structures arise as the ubiquitous plasma membrane in cellular biology and as blends of amphiphilic copolymers used in electrolyte membranes, drug delivery, and emulsion stabilization within the context of synthetic chemistry. We present the multicomponent functionalized Cahn-Hilliard (mFCH) free energy as a model which allows competition between bilayers with distinct co...
