Formation and Characterization of Supported Lipid Bilayers Composed of Hydrogenated and Deuterated Escherichia coli Lipids.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Supported lipid bilayers are widely used for sensing and deciphering biomolecular interactions with model cell membranes. In this paper, we present a method to form supported lipid bilayers from total lipid extracts of Escherichia coli by vesicle fusion.

Probing the interaction between nanoparticles and lipid membranes by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2016
There is increasing interest in using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) to investigate the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with model surfaces.

Shaped Apertures in Photoresist Films Enhance the Lifetime and Mechanical Stability of Suspended Lipid Bilayers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Planar lipid bilayers suspended in apertures provide a controlled environment for ion channel studies. However, short lifetimes and poor mechanical stability of suspended bilayers limit the experimental throughput of bilayer electrophysiology experiments.

Orientation of Laurdan in Phospholipid Bilayers Influences Its Fluorescence: Quantum Mechanics and Classical Molecular Dynamics Study

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Fluidity of lipid membranes is known to play an important role in the functioning of living organisms. The fluorescent probe Laurdan embedded in a lipid membrane is typically used to assess the fluidity state of lipid bilayers by utilizing the ...

Delivering anion transporters to lipid bilayers in water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Cyclodextrins have been employed as delivery agents for lipophilic anion transporters, which allow their incorporation into lipid bilayers without using an organic solvent or pre ...

The ELBA force field for coarse-grain modeling of lipid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A new coarse-grain model for molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membranes is presented. Following a simple and conventional approach, lipid molecules are modeled by spherical sites, each representing a group of several atoms.

Evidence for the Formation of Symmetric and Asymmetric DLPC-DAPC Lipid Bilayer Domains

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background/Aims: We investigated if mixtures of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C12:0 PC; DLPC) and 1,2-diarachidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C20:0 PC; DAPC), which differ by eight methylene groups in ...
