Abstract:Binary films of 1-palmitoyl-2-(16-(S-methyldithio)-hexadecanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSDPPC) and 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(Cap Biotinyl) (biotin-Cap-DPPE) were formed at the air-water interface. These floating Langmuir monolayers were transferred to a solid gold-coated substrate by the Langmuir-Schaefer deposition method. The role of the DSDPPC lipids is to bind the monolayer covalently to the gold substrate. The embedded receptor molecules (biotin-Cap-DPPE) make the film rea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
