G. Brink et al., SELF-ASSEMBLY OF COVALENTLY ANCHORED PHOSPHOLIPID SUPPORTED MEMBRANESBY USE OF DODA-SUC-NHS-LIPIDS, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Biomembranes, 1196(2), 1994, pp. 227-230
We present a novel preparation method for the self assembly of covalen
tly anchored phospholipid supported membranes. The surface is gold cov
ered by cysteamine. Vesicles containing DMPC and activated DODA-Suc-NH
S-lipids assembled on this surface. The whole self-assembly process is
monitored conveniently by Near Infrared Surface Plasmon Resonance (NI
R-SPR). Comparing the data to those obtained by Ca2+-mediated vesicle
fusion, confirmed this interpretation.
