Structure and electrical properties of DNA nanotubes embedded in lipid bilayer membranes
Engineering the synthetic nanopores through lipid bilayer membrane to access the interior of a cell is a long persisting challenge in biotechnology. Here, we demonstrate the stability and dynamics of a tile-based 6-helix DNA nanotube (DNT) embedded in POPC lipid bilayer using the analysis of 0.2 μs long equilibrium MD simulation trajectories. We observe that the head groups of the lipid molecul...
متن کاملTethered and Polymer Supported Bilayer Lipid Membranes: Structure and Function
Solid supported bilayer lipid membranes are model systems to mimic natural cell membranes in order to understand structural and functional properties of such systems. The use of a model system allows for the use of a wide variety of analytical tools including atomic force microscopy, impedance spectroscopy, neutron reflectometry, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Among the large numbe...
متن کاملStructure and properties of tethered bilayer lipid membranes with unsaturated anchor molecules.
The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of new lipidic anchor molecule HC18 [Z-20-(Z-octadec-9-enyloxy)-3,6,9,12,15,18,22-heptaoxatetracont-31-ene-1-thiol] and mixed HC18/β-mercaptoethanol (βME) SAMs were studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and were evaluated in tethered bil...
متن کاملHaematoporphyrin changes the mechanical properties of lipid bilayer membranes.
The interactions between haematoporphyrin (HP) and bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) were studied. A weak effect of HP on BLM conductivity was observed at HP concentrations ranging between 10(-6) and 3 x 10(-5) mol/l. Modulus of elasticity in the direction normal to the membrane plane (E perpendicular) and dynamic viscosity coefficient (eta) were measured, both exhibiting HP-induced decrease by 22-...
متن کاملinvestigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes
boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...
