  2. 1. Mesoporous supported lipid bilayers

    Author : Maria Claesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FRAP; Lipid bilayer; Mesoporous; AFM; Vesicle; Titania; Silica; QCM-D;

    Abstract : AbstractLipid bilayers are commonly used as simplified model systems of living cell membranes. They have shown to be important components in the development of biosensing devices where the bilayer acts as a host for transmembrane proteins, such as ion channels, that are utilized as sensing elements.

  4. 2. Bilayers with Surfactant-induced Pores and Demixing in Micelles : Studies of Segregation in Amphiphile Systems

    Author : Mari Kadi; Mats Almgren; Per Hansson; Ulf Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; fluorocarbon surfactants; amphiphile mixtures; perforated bilayers; segregation; NMR; surfactant selective electrode; cryo-TEM; SANS; AFM; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis has been on the effects of segregation in mixtures of amphiphilic molecules. Two different systems were investigated: fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon surfactant mixtures and lipid-surfactant mixtures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Formation of Mesoporous Materials and their use as Lipid Bilayer Supports

    Author : Maria Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tethered lipid bilayers; meso-ordered PEG-DA hydrogels; dendrimers; porous silica and titania; lipid bilayers; biosensing;

    Abstract : Mesoporous materials have acquired great scientific interest in various applications; something that is largely due to that their properties, such as pore size, pore orientation, material composition and surface chemistry, can be controlled to a large extent. One idea, which has been investigated in this thesis, is to use mesoporous materials as supports for lipid bilayers and by doing so fabricate devices that mimic the cell wall and at the same time has sufficient mechanical robustness for practical use.

  7. 5. Atomistic computer simulations of lipid bilayers

    Author : Jakob Wohlert; Olle Edholm; Siewert-Jan Marrink; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Computer simulation has become an important tool for the study of biomolecular systems. This thesis deals with molecular dynamics simulations of one-component lipid bilayers, which may serve as models for biological membranes. READ MORE
