Shrink-wrap vesicles.

چکیده
We describe a simple approach to the controlled removal of molecules from the membrane of large unilamellar vesicles made of fatty acids. Such vesicles shrink dramatically upon mixing with micelles composed of a mixture of fatty acid and a phospholipid (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)), as fatty acid molecules leave the vesicle membrane and accumulate within the mixed micelles. Vesicle shrinkage was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching of labeled vesicles, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer between lipid dyes incorporated into the vesicle membrane. Most of the encapsulated impermeable solute is retained during shrinkage, becoming concentrated by a factor of at least 50-fold in the final small vesicles. This unprecedented combination of vesicle shrinkage with retention of contents allows for the preparation of small vesicles containing high solute concentrations, and may find applications in liposomal drug delivery.

Reusing (Shrink Wrap) Schemas by Modifying Concept Schemas
We provide mechanisms that facilitate database design based on a shrink wrap schema. A shrink wrap schema is a well-crafted, complete, global schema that represents an application. We develop the notion of concept schemas as a way to decompose shrink wrap schemas. A concept schema is a subset of an application schema that addresses one particular point of view in an application. To aid in shrin...
