Liposomes have been attracted considerable attention as phospholipid spherical vesicles,
over the past 40 years. These lipid vesicles are valued in biomedical application due to their …

Biological membranes, primarily composed of lipids, envelop each living cell. The intricate
composition and organization of membrane lipids, including the variety of fatty acids they …

Phospholipid membranes support essential biochemical processes, yet remain difficult to
characterize due to their compositional and structural heterogeneity. The two most common …

We report vibrational lifetime measurements of the OH stretch vibration of interfacial water in
contact with lipid monolayers, using time-resolved vibrational sum frequency (VSF) …

The self-assembly and antimicrobial activity of two novel arginine-capped bola-amphiphile
peptides, namely RA6R and RA9R (R, arginine; A, alanine) are investigated. RA6R does not …

The properties of single-component phospholipid lipid bilayers have been extensively
characterized. Natural cell membranes are not so simple, consisting of a diverse mixture of …

Ibuprofen (IBU) interacts with phosphatidylcholine membranes in three distinct steps as a
function of concentration. In a first step (< 10 μM), IBU electrostatically adsorbs to the lipid …

We show that striped phases of horizontally oriented phospholipids presenting 1-nm-wide
orientable dipole arrays can order and straighten flexible 2-nm-diameter gold nanowires …

The binding of melittin and the C‐terminally truncated analogue of melittin (21Q) to a range
of phospholipid bilayers was studied using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The …

Analysis of the band corresponding to the frequency of vibrational symmetric stretching
mode of methylene groups in the lipid acyl chains and the bands of water below and above …
