Interaction forces between DPPC bilayers on glass.
The surface force apparatus (SFA) was utilized to obtain force-distance profiles between silica-supported membranes formed by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). In the absence of a membrane, a long-range electrostatic repulsion and short-range steric repulsion are measured as a result of the deprotonation of silica in water and the roughness of t...
متن کاملEffect of the hydrophilic size on the structural phases of aqueous nonionic gemini surfactant solutions.
Aggregate structures of aqueous nonionic Gemini surfactant solutions, alpha,alpha'-[2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diyl]bis[omega-hydroxyl-polyoxyethylene] with three different length polyoxyethylenes (i.e., 10, 20, and 30 ethylene oxide monomers, denoted from now on as S-10, S-20, and S-30, respectively), are investigated using small angle neutron scattering, dynamic light scattering, and fl...
متن کاملMetabolic changes with inflammation induced by a surfactant.
Studies were carried out to determine the relationship between metabolic histopathological changes in the gastrocnemius muscle of rats in which an acute exudative inflammation had been induced by alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (alkyl-DBAC, a cationic surfactant). Succinate respiration, Na+-K+-Mg2+ ATPase activity and ATP, ADP and AMP levels were determined as the index of metabolic change...
متن کاملArea per Lipid in DPPC-Cholesterol Bilayers: Analytical Approach
Area per molecule in a DPPC-Cholesterol bilayers depends non-linearly on the cholesterol concentration. Using flexible strings model of lipid membranes we calculate area per molecule in DPPC-Cholesterol mixtures in the biologically relevant concentrations range. Few parameters of the model are optimized for a perfect agreement with the area per lipid data available from molecular dynamics simul...
متن کاملSynthesis and properties of novel gemini surfactant with short spacer
Cationic gemini surfactant dimethylene-1,2-bis(dodecyldiethylammonium bromide), referred to as C12C2C12(Et) was synthesized, and its surface property and aggregation behavior in aqueous solution were studied. The value of γ at the critical micelle concentration (γcmc) is much smaller than that of the surfactant homologues with longer spacer. Spherical and elongated micelles were formed in the a...
