Swelling of phospholipid floating bilayers: the effect of chain length [PDF]
, 2003 The equilibrium distance between two lipid bilayers stable in bulk water and in proximity of a substrate was investigated. Samples consisted of a homogeneous lipid bilayer, floating near an identical bilayer deposited on the hydrophilic surface of a ...

Interactions of Novel Phosphonium Dye with Lipid Bilayers: A Molecular Dynamics Study
East European Journal of Physics, 2022 In the present work the 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations (MD) were performed in the CHARMM36m force field using the GROMACS package to estimate the bilayer location and mechanisms of the interaction between the novel phosphonium dye TDV and the ...

Bilayer Edges Catalyze Supported Lipid Bilayer Formation [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Supported lipid bilayers (SLB) are important for the study of membrane-based phenomena and as coatings for biosensors. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental lack of understanding of the process by which they form from vesicles in solution. We report insights into the mechanism of SLB formation by vesicle adsorption using temperature-controlled time ...

Volumetric stability of lipid bilayers [PDF]
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2012 In agreement with recent reports, a commercial densimeter has yielded a gradual decrease in lipid molecular volume of DPPC multilamellar vesicle dispersions in the gel phase upon repeated thermal cycling between 10 °C and 50 °C. The considerable size of this decrease would have significant implications for the physical chemistry of biomembranes.

Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Molecules, 2017 We investigate the structural changes to lipid membrane that ensue from the addition of aliphatic alcohols with various alkyl tail lengths. Small angle neutron diffraction from flat lipid bilayers that are hydrated through water vapor has been employed to eliminate possible artefacts of the membrane curvature and the alcohol’s membrane-water ...
