Fluorescence of Supported Phospholipid Bilayers Recorded in a Conventional Horizontal-Beam Spectrofluorometer [PDF]
, 2016 Supported phospholipid bilayers are a convenient model of cellular membranes in studies of membrane biophysics and protein-lipid interactions. Traditionally, supported lipid bilayers are formed on a flat surface of a glass slide to be observed through ...

Neural Stem Cell Spreading on Lipid Based Artificial Cell Surfaces, Characterized by Combined X-ray and Neutron Reflectometry [PDF]
, 2010 We developed a bioadhesive coating based on a synthetic peptide-conjugate (AK-cycloRGDfC]) which contains multiples of the arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) amino acid sequence.

Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.

Interactions of retinol with lipid bilayers: studies with vesicles of different radii.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1995 The interactions of retinol with vesicles of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine of varying radii were studied. The rate constants of dissociation of retinol from bilayers (k(off)) and the equilibrium partition constants (Keq) of retinol into bilayers of ...

DNA-nanostructure-templated assembly of planar and curved lipid-bilayer membranes
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 Lipid-bilayer nanodiscs and liposomes have been developed to stabilize membrane proteins in order to study their structures and functions. Nanodiscs are detergent-free, water-soluble, and size-controlled planar phospholipid-bilayer platforms.

Electrostatics of lipid bilayer bending
Biophysical Journal, 1997 The electrostatic contribution to spontaneous membrane curvature is calculated within Poisson-Boltzmann theory under a variety of assumptions and emphasizing parameters in the physiological range. Asymmetric surface charges, either fixed with respect to bilayer midplane area, or with respect to the lipid-water area both induce curvature but of opposite

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) study of thick lamellar stacks of phospholipid bilayers
, 2007 We report an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) study on thick multi lamellar stacks of approx. 10 mum thickness (about 1500 stacked membranes) of DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine) deposited on silicon wafers.
