Giant Vesicles: Preparations and Applications
(Figure Presented) There is considerable interest in preparing cell-sized giant unilamellar vesicles from natural or nonnatural amphiphiles because a giant vesicle membrane resembles the self-closed lipid matrix of the plasma membrane of all biological ...

Incorporation of membrane proteins into giant unilamellar vesicles: Towards complex cell mimetic systems [PDF]
All cells share certain structural features. These are a nucleus (eukaryotes) or nucleoid (prokaryotes) and a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is composed of lipids and proteins and defines the periphery of the cell.

Kinetics of Nisin-Induced Pore Formation in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
We have studied the kinetics of pore formation in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) with the antimicrobial peptide nisin. The role of charged lipid composition in the rate of pore formation by nisin in the vesicle membrane is investigated using ...
