Deformability of multilamellar vesicles.
Although a free unilamellar vesicle has zero or almost zero genuine surface tension, the multilamellar vesicle ("onion") exhibits a nonzero effective surface tension sigma(eff). The expression for sigma(eff) used in the literature is sigma(eff) approximately square root of kappaB/d(0), where B is the interaction modulus between the vesicle bilayers, d(0) the repeating distance between the bilay...
متن کاملMultilamellar Vesicles in a Commercial Surfactant System
The manufacture of concentrated detergent granules in the detergent industry can be achie®ed by the incorporation of surfactant pastes, such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonate ( ) ( paste LAS a lamellar liquid crystalline material surfactant concentration of ca. 78 ) wt. % . LAS paste was processed at 25 C and 60 C, in both the absence and presence ( ) of sodium disilicate Na O:2SiO additi®e, and...
متن کاملTension and solute depletion in multilamellar vesicles.
We show that a metastable multilamellar vesicle ("onion"), in contact with excess solvent, can spontaneously deplete solute molecules from its interior through an unusual, entropy-driven mechanism. Fluctuation entropy is gained as the uneven partition of solute molecules helps the onion relieve tension in its lamellae. This mechanism accounts for recent experiments on the interaction between un...
متن کاملPhase behavior of lipid monolayers containing DPPC and cholesterol analogs.
We investigate the miscibility phase behavior of lipid monolayers containing a wide variety of sterols. Six of the sterols satisfy a definition from an earlier study of "membrane-active sterols" in bilayers (cholesterol, epicholesterol, lathosterol, dihydrocholesterol, ergosterol, and desmosterol), and six do not (25-hydroxycholesterol, lanosterol, androstenolone, coprostanol, cholestane, and c...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy studies of the adhesive properties of DPPC vesicles containing β-carotene.
A role of carotenoids as modulators of physical properties of model and biological membranes has been already postulated. However, there is a lack of information on the influence of these pigments on interactions between the lipids which form such membranes. This paper applies atomic force microscopy (AFM) in to study the effects of β-carotene on the adhesion properties of DPPC multilamellar li...
