“…Plasmalogen is another key component of lipid rafts, participating in the ligand-binding properties of G-protein-coupled receptors. Cholesterol (chol) is also a very important component of biomembranes, accounting for 30% of the total composition, which can adjust the fluidity and stability of biomembranes. , In the membrane physiological environment provided by supported lipid bilayers (lipids standing on the substrates), the extracellular portion of membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins, and lipid-anchored proteins have been observed from the top view by AFM or fluorescence microscope, revealing their diffusion property and binding kinetics. , However, it is hard to directly investigate the transmembrane segment of integral membrane proteins in supported lipid bilayers. Phospholipid assembly of appropriate composition on the substrate with a lying-down phase may help us understand membrane proteins better.…”
