DNA interaction with freestanding cationic lipid bilayers
We study the interaction of ds-DNA molecules with freestanding and supported cationic lipid bilayers. DNA fragments of different lengths (5, 10, 20, and 48 kbp) were adsorbed on lipid membranes consiting mainly of zwitterionic DOPC with added fractions of cationic DOTAP (1...10 %). Freestanding bilayers were modeled using giant unilamellar vesicles of sizes >100 μm. Supported lipid bilayers wer...
متن کاملA droplet microfluidic system for sequential generation of lipid bilayers and transmembrane electrical recordings.
This paper demonstrates a microfluidic system that automates i) formation of a lipid bilayer at the interface between a pair of nanoliter-sized aqueous droplets in oil, ii) exchange of one droplet of the pair to form a new bilayer, and iii) current measurements on single proteins. A new microfluidic architecture is introduced - a set of traps designed to localize the droplets with respect to ea...
متن کاملMicrofabricated teflon membranes for low-noise recordings of ion channels in planar lipid bilayers.
We present a straightforward, accessible method for the fabrication of micropores with diameters from 2 to 800 micro m in films of amorphous Teflon (Teflon AF). Pores with diameters </=40 micro m made it possible to record ion fluxes through ion channels in planar bilayers with excellent signal characteristics. These pores afforded: i), stable measurements at transmembrane voltages up to 460 mV...
متن کاملElectroporation of Planar Lipid Bilayers and Membranes
Strong external electric field can destabilize membranes and induce formation of pores thus increasing membrane permeability. The phenomenon is known as membrane electroporation, sometimes referred to also as dielectric breakdown or electropermeabilization. The structural changes involving rearrangement of the phospholipid bilayer presumably lead to the formation of aqueous pores, which increas...
متن کاملSpecific electrical capacitance and voltage breakdown as a function of temperature for different planar lipid bilayers.
The breakdown voltage and specific electrical capacitance of planar lipid bilayers formed from lipids isolated from the membrane of archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1 as a function of temperature were studied and compared with data obtained previously in MD simulation studies. Temperature dependence of breakdown voltage and specific electrical capacitance was measured also for dipalmitoylphosphatidyl...
