Patterned supported lipid bilayers and monolayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane).
A simple and practical method for patterning supported lipid bilayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane) is presented. By using electron microscopy grids to laterally control the extent of plasma oxidation, the substrate is partitioned into regions of different hydrophilicities. Addition of vesicles then results in the spontaneous formation of lipid bilayers and monolayers side-by-side on the surface, s...
متن کاملSurface-enhanced Raman scattering of self-assembled thiol monolayers and supported lipid membranes on thin anodic porous alumina
Thin anodic porous alumina (tAPA) was fabricated from a 500 nm thick aluminum (Al) layer coated on silicon wafers, through single-step anodization performed in a Teflon electrochemical cell in 0.4 M aqueous phosphoric acid at 110 V. Post-fabrication etching in the same acid allowed obtaining tAPA surfaces with ≈160 nm pore diameter and ≈80 nm corresponding wall thickness to be prepared. The tAP...
متن کاملCharacterization of Self-Assembled Monolayers on a Ruthenium Surface
We have modified and stabilized the ruthenium surface by depositing a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 1-hexadecanethiol on a polycrystalline ruthenium thin film. The growth mechanism, dynamics, and stability of these monolayers were studied. SAMs, deposited under ambient conditions, on piranha-cleaned and piranha + H2SO4 cleaned substrates were compared to monolayers formed on H-radical-clean...
متن کاملLipid monolayers: action
The activity of phospholipase A on phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidal choline spread as monolayers on phosphate buffers containing snake venom (Crotalus atrox or Naja naja) was studied by measuring the fall of surface potential as a function of time, pH, film pressure, temperature, and concentrations of phosphate and venom. At 25OC, pH 7.0, and 0.2 fig of venom per ml, optimal activity was o...
متن کاملPhase Behavior and Structure Properties of Supported Lipid Monolayers and Bilayers in Interaction with Silica Nanoparticles
In this study we investigate silica nanoparticle (SiO2NP) effects on the structure and phase properties of supported lipid monolayers and bilayers, coupling surface pressure measurements, fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy. SiO2-NPs typically in size range of 10nm to 100 nm in diameter are tested. Our results suggest first that lipid molecules organization depends to their natu...
