Phase separation in lipid membranes.
Cell membranes show complex behavior, in part because of the large number of different components that interact with each other in different ways. One aspect of this complex behavior is lateral organization of components on a range of spatial scales. We found that lipid-only mixtures can model the range of size scales, from approximately 2 nm up to microns. Furthermore, the size of compositiona...
متن کاملCharge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes.
Phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of unsaturated neutral lipid, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), saturated neutral lipid, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), unsaturated charged lipid, d...
متن کاملsynthesis of platinum nanostructures in two phase system
چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...
Ultraviolet Microbeam Irradiation in Living Cell Membranes
In previous communications the authors have described the cellular and subcellular responses to ultraviolet irradiation directed to whole Chang liver cells and to portions of Chang liver cells (3-6). Two sources of ultraviolet have been utilized in these studies. One source was a mercury arc lamp the output of which was passed through a grating monochromator, and the second source was the ultra...
متن کاملDynamics of Phase Separation in Confined Two-component Fluid Membranes
We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, being consist...
