Nanoparticle–lipid bilayer interactions studied with lipid bilayer arrays

Nanoscale, 2015
Cationic and anionic polystyrene nanoparticles were screened for lipid bilayer interactions with different solutions, bilayer compositions, and particle charges.

Softening of lipid bilayers

European Biophysics Journal, 1985
The softening of wet lipid bilayer membranes during their gel-to-fluid first-order phase transition is studied by computer simulation of a family of two-dimensional microscopic interaction models. The models include a variable number, q, of lipid chain conformational states, where 2 less than or equal to q less than or equal to 10.

Spherical lipid bilayer membranes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1967
Abstract 1. 1. The formation of a new model membrane system is described. In its final configuration this system consists of four phases: a spherical bilayer membrane several mm in diameter, a bulk lipid phase which takes the form of a cap or lens covering less than 10% of the spherical surface, and two aqueous phases, one on each side of the ...

Water and Lipid Bilayers

2015
Water is crucial to the structure and function of biological membranes. In fact, the membrane's basic structural unit, i.e. the lipid bilayer, is self-assembled and stabilized by the so-called hydrophobic effect, whereby lipid molecules unable to hydrogen bond with water aggregate in order to prevent their hydrophobic portions from being exposed to ...

Texture of Lipid Bilayer Domains

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
We investigate the texture of gel (g) domains in binary lipid membranes composed of the phospholipids DPPC and DOPC. Lateral organization of lipid bilayer membranes is a topic of fundamental and biological importance. Whereas questions related to size and composition of fluid membrane domain are well studied, the possibility of texture in gel domains ...

Paclitaxel Partitioning into Lipid Bilayers

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1996
Paclitaxel (taxol) is diterpenoid anticancer drug with a new mechanism of cytostatic action. It is under investigation in clinical trials for treatment of various types of human cancer. A major difficulty in developing paclitaxel as a chemotherapeutic agent in its poor water solubility.

Bilayer Lipid Membranes

Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft für physikalische Chemie, 1978
AbstractThin lipid membranes formed across an aperture in a teflon foil are frequently used as model systems to simulate the hydrophobic diffusion barrier of biological membranes. These membranes have a thickness of about twice the length of a lipid molecule (bilayer membranes) and are prepared either by a spontaneous transition of a thick lamella made

Photoelectrospectrometry of bilayer lipid membranes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1980
These different bilayer lipid membrane systems were studied under visible and ultraviolet illumination. The first system consisted of a bilayer lipid membrane formed with a mixture of phospholipids and cholesterol, to one side of which purple membrane fragments from Halobacterium halobium were added.
