High coverage fluid-phase floating lipid bilayers supported by ω-thiolipid self-assembled monolayers
Large area lipid bilayers, on solid surfaces, are useful in physical studies of biological membranes. It is advantageous to minimize the interactions of these bilayers with the substrate and this can be achieved via the formation of a floating supported bilayer (FSB) upon either a surface bound phospholipid bilayer or monolayer. The FSB's independence is enabled by the continuous water layer (g...
متن کاملElectrochemical studies of blocking properties of solid supported tethered lipid membranes on gold.
The insulating properties of self-assembled thiolipid monolayers and tethered lipid bilayers on polycrystalline gold electrodes were studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV). These films were formed by two-step self-assembly processes. Electrochemical measurements of the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of different redox couples such as potassium ferrocyanide (K(4)[Fe(CN)(6)]) ...
متن کاملPhase Behavior and Structure Properties of Supported Lipid Monolayers and Bilayers in Interaction with Silica Nanoparticles
In this study we investigate silica nanoparticle (SiO2NP) effects on the structure and phase properties of supported lipid monolayers and bilayers, coupling surface pressure measurements, fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy. SiO2-NPs typically in size range of 10nm to 100 nm in diameter are tested. Our results suggest first that lipid molecules organization depends to their natu...
متن کاملPatterned supported lipid bilayers and monolayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane).
A simple and practical method for patterning supported lipid bilayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane) is presented. By using electron microscopy grids to laterally control the extent of plasma oxidation, the substrate is partitioned into regions of different hydrophilicities. Addition of vesicles then results in the spontaneous formation of lipid bilayers and monolayers side-by-side on the surface, s...
متن کاملPreparation of DOPC and DPPC Supported Planar Lipid Bilayers for Atomic Force Microscopy and Atomic Force Spectroscopy
Cell membranes are typically very complex, consisting of a multitude of different lipids and proteins. Supported lipid bilayers are widely used as model systems to study biological membranes. Atomic force microscopy and force spectroscopy techniques are nanoscale methods that are successfully used to study supported lipid bilayers. These methods, especially force spectroscopy, require the relia...
