Active Membrane Fluctuations Studied by Micropipet Aspiration [PDF]

, 2001
We present a detailed analysis of the micropipet experiments recently reported in J-B. Manneville et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4356--4359 (1999), including a derivation of the expected behaviour of the membrane tension as a function of the areal strain ...

Rapid preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996
We report here a rapid evaporation method that produces in high yield giant unilamellar vesicles up to 50 microns in diameter. The vesicles are obtained after only 2 min and can be prepared from different phospholipids, including L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), dipalmitoleoyl L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine, and beta-arachidonoyl gamma-palmitoyl L ...

Light-Switchable Membrane Permeability in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

Pharmaceutics, 2022
In this work, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were synthesized by blending the natural phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) with a photoswitchable amphiphile (1) that undergoes photoisomerization upon irradiation with UV-A (E to Z) and blue (Z to E) light.

Bending Rigidity, Capacitance, and Shear Viscosity of Giant Vesicle Membranes Prepared by Spontaneous Swelling, Electroformation, Gel-Assisted, and Phase Transfer Methods: A Comparative Study.

Langmuir, 2022
Closed lipid bilayers in the form of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are commonly used membrane models. Various methods have been developed to prepare GUVs, however it is unknown if all approaches yield membranes with the same elastic, electric, and ...

Photoactivated Signaling Networks using DNA‐Based Synthetic Organelles as Biomimetic Protocells

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Light‐triggered intercommunication between two types of organelle‐loaded liposomes lead to DNAzyme‐mediated on transcription‐guided structural reconfiguration of the organelles. ABSTRACT Membraneless organelles formed by phase‐separated nucleic acid or protein condensates play vital roles in regulating cellular functions.

Using small molecules to facilitate exchange of bicarbonate and chloride anions across liposomal membranes [PDF]

, 2009
Bicarbonate is involved in a wide range of biological processes, which include respiration, regulation of intracellular pH and fertilization. In this study we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and ion-selective electrode techniques to show that the ...

Interaction of apolipoprotein A-I in three different conformations with palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Interactions of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with cell membranes appear to be important in the initial steps of reverse cholesterol transport. The objective of this work was to examine the effect of three distinct conformations of apoA-I (lipid-free and ...
