The lipid bilayer is one of the most eloquent and important self-assembled structures in
nature. It not only provides a protective container for cells and sub-cellular compartments …

Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are popular models of cell membranes with potential bio-
technological applications. A qualitative understanding of the process of SLB formation after …

Highly crystalline metal ions containing organic polymers are potentially useful to
manipulate the magnetic and optical properties to make advanced multifunctional materials …

Organic polymers are usually amorphous or possess very low crystallinity. The metal
complexes of organic polymeric ligands are also difficult to crystallize by traditional methods …

Lipid membranes regulate the flow of nutrients and communication signaling between cells
and protect the sub-cellular structures. Recent attempts to fabricate artificial systems using …

The behavior of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) conjugated lipids was investigated in planar
supported egg phosphatidylcholine bilayers as a function of lipopolymer density, chain …

This study compares the efficacy of six disaccharides and glucose for the preservation of
solid supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) upon exposure to air. Disaccharide molecules …

One of the main questions in the membrane biology is the functional roles of membrane
heterogeneity and molecular localization. Although segregation and local enrichment of …

We investigated the influence of surface hydroxyl groups (–OHs) on the supported planar
phospholipid bilayer (SPB) formation and characteristics. We prepared SiO2 surfaces with …

Biological membranes, in addition to being a cell boundary, can host a variety of proteins
that are involved in different biological functions, including selective nutrient transport, signal …
