Electrofusion of Lipid Bilayers
1989Electrostimulated fusion (electrofusion) is one of the promising methods in the study of the somatic hybridization of cells. In spite of a great number of studies in which this phenomenon is used, its mechanism has not been elucidated. Electrofusion, and generally fusion, presupposes the joining of cell membranes and the volumes limited by them ...

The formation of lipid bilayers on surfaces
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2009The adsorption of biological molecules at solid-liquid interfaces is growing in importance due to its application to a very broad range of fields. Biomimetic systems like phospholipid mono- or bilayers are used to study such adsorption processes in great detail.

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

Spherical lipid bilayer membranes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1967Abstract 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 ...

Structure of Oriented Lipid Bilayers
Nature New Biology, 1971X-ray diffraction studies show that lipid hydrocarbon chains are uniformly packed in bilayers and oriented so that their free ends are near the centre. This provides a model for biological membranes.

Proton permeation of lipid bilayers
Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 1987Proton permeation of the lipid bilayer barrier has two unique features. First, permeability coefficients measured at neutral pH ranges are six to seven orders of magnitude greater than expected from knowledge of other monovalent cations. Second, proton conductance across planar lipid bilayers varies at most by a factor of 10 when pH is varied from near

The permeability of a lipid bilayer
2006This work presents results on the permeability of a lipid bilayer to water molecules. We look at the change in bilayer permeability as a function of lipid structure and area per lipid molecule. A molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) of a solvent surfactant system was used in the canonical ensemble to simulate the membranes.
