Protein Reconstitution Inside Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yes, 2021
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) have gained great popularity as mimicries for cellular membranes. As their sizes are comfortably above the optical resolution limit, and their lipid composition is easily controlled, they are ideal for quantitative light

Osmotic Gradients Induce Bio-reminiscent Morphological Transformations in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
We report observations of large-scale, in-plane and out-of-plane membrane deformations in giant uni- and multilamellar vesicles composed of binary and ternary lipid mixtures in the presence of net transvesicular osmotic gradients.

Extrusion of electroformed giant unilamellar vesicles through track-etched membranes

open access: yes, 2012
Unilamellar vesicle populations having a narrow size distribution and mean radius below 100 nm are preferred for drug delivery applications. In the present work, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) was used to prepare giant unilamellar ...

Shape and Size of Giant Unilamellar Phospholipid Vesicles Containing Cardiolipin

open access: yes, 2005
The effect of cardiolipin content on the shape and size of giant palmitoyloleylphosphatidylcholine/cardiolipin vesicles was studied. Unilamellar vesicles were prepared in sugar solution by the method of electroformation, from mixtures containing up to 50

Refined contour analysis of giant unilamellar vesicles

open access: yes, 2004
The fluctuation spectrum of giant unilamellar vesicles is measured using a high-resolution contour detection technique. An analysis at higher q vectors than previously achievable is now possible due to technical improvements of the experimental setup and
