Supported lipid bilayers formed by the fusion of small unilamellar vesicles onto SiO2 or
organic film-modified surfaces serve as model membranes in both scientific research and …

Planar lipid bilayers on solid supports provide a controllable platform to mimic biological
membranes. Adsorption and spontaneous rupture of vesicles is the most common method to …

Planar lipid bilayers on solid supports mimic the fundamental structure of biological
membranes and can be investigated using a wide range of surface-sensitive techniques …

The paper describes the synthesis of surfaces based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)
of alkanethiolates on gold that were designed to support the adsorption of bilayer lipid …

Lipid vesicles are designed with functional chemical groups to promote vesicle fusion on
template-stripped gold (TS Au) surfaces that does not spontaneously occur on …

Spreading of small unilamellar vesicles on solid surfaces is one of the most common ways to
obtain supported lipid bilayers. Although the method has been used successfully for many …

In a recent paper, a new class of synthetic lipids, which self-assemble to form monolayers on
gold surfaces, was introduced. The addition of a monolayer of phospholipids to these layers …

Our strategy to provide the structural basis for the build-up of functional tethered membranes
focuses on three approaches: the first one is based on the pre-organization of a …

Supported lipid platforms are versatile cell membrane mimics whose structural properties
can be tailored to suit the application of interest. By identifying parameters that control the …

Gold nanoparticles provide a template for preparing supported lipid layers with well-defined
curvature. Here, we utilize the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold …
