Ordered cast films of polymerized bilayer membranes

Supramolecular Materials via Polymerization of Mesophases of Hydrated Amphiphiles

“…Solvent casting of lipid vesicles can yield ordered multilayers. , These methods were developed by Kunitake and co-workers to form free-standing multilayer films. To assess whether cast multilayer films were well enough ordered to permit efficient polymerization of diacetylenic amphiphiles, multilayer films were prepared from diacetylenic monomers. , A cast film, composed of the diacetylenic glutamate lipid 35 , was irradiated with UV light.…”

Interaction of Tea Catechins with Lipid Bilayers Investigated by a Quartz-Crystal Microbalance Analysis

“…The host molecule, 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC; Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, USA), was immobilized on the QCM cells by reported procedure: [24][25][26][27] DMPC in a chloroform/ethanol solution (4:1 w/w) at the concentration of 1 mg/ml was applied to the gold electrode of the QCM plate. After being dried in air for over 3 h, the DMPC multilayer-immobilized QCM plate was soaked in 500 ml phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) and kept at 35 C for 1 h to stimulate and mature the multilayer formation.…”
