Cell adhesion through clustered ligand on fluid supported lipid bilayers.
The quartz crystal microbalance technique with dissipation monitoring and the complementary optical microscopy technique were used for monitoring cell adhesion on an RGD-functionalized supported lipid bilayer. A critical interligand RGD spacing of nearly 80 nm was estimated for cell adhesion when an RGD spacing of 10 nm was necessary to observe flattened cells on a fluid surface.
متن کاملPolydopamine-Supported Lipid Bilayers
We report the formation of lipid membranes supported by a soft polymeric cushion of polydopamine. First, 20 nm thick polydopamine films were formed on mica substrates. Atomic force microscopy imaging indicated that these films were also soft with a surface roughness of 2 nm under hydrated conditions. A zwitterionic phospholipid bilayer was then deposited on the polydopamine cushion by fusion of...
متن کاملKinetics of DNA-mediated docking reactions between vesicles tethered to supported lipid bilayers.
Membrane-membrane recognition and binding are crucial in many biological processes. We report an approach to studying the dynamics of such reactions by using DNA-tethered vesicles as a general scaffold for displaying membrane components. This system was used to characterize the docking reaction between two populations of tethered vesicles that display complementary DNA. Deposition of vesicles o...
متن کاملReconstitution of TCR Signaling Using Supported Lipid Bilayers.
Biochemical reconstitution has served as an important tool for understanding the mechanisms of many cellular processes including DNA replication, transcription, translation, vesicle trafficking, and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Here, we demonstrate that biochemical reconstitution can be applied to studying a complex signaling pathway involving as many as 12 proteins or protein complexes acti...
متن کاملTitration force microscopy on supported lipid bilayers.
The use of chemically modified atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes allows us to measure the surface charges of supported planar lipid bilayers with high sensitivity through the force spectroscopy operation mode. By controlling the chemistry of the tip, we can perform a classical analytical chemistry titration where the titration agent is a weak acid (attached to the AFM tip) with the particula...
