PLoS 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.

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.

Water permeation through stratum corneum lipid bilayers from atomistic simulations [PDF]
, 2009 Stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin, consists of keratin filled rigid non-viable corneocyte cells surrounded by multilayers of lipids. The lipid layer is responsible for the barrier properties of the skin.

Sphingomyelin and GM1 Influence Huntingtin Binding to, Disruption of, and Aggregation on Lipid Membranes [PDF]
, 2018 Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion beyond a critical threshold of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract near the N-terminus of the huntingtin (htt) protein. Expanded polyQ promotes the formation of a variety

Composition Fluctuations in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 AbstractLipid bilayers constitute the basis of biological membranes. Understanding lipid mixing and phase behavior can provide important insights into membrane lateral organization (the “raft” hypothesis). Here we investigate model lipid bilayers below and above their miscibility transition temperatures.

How Well Can You Tailor the Charge of Lipid Vesicles? [PDF]
, 2019 Knowledge and control of surface charge or potential is important for tailoring colloidal interactions. In this work, we compare widely used zeta potential (ζ) measurements of charged lipid vesicle surface potential to direct measurements using the ...

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