This book was released on 1995-08-31 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bilayer Lipid Membranes. Structure and Mechanical Properties the authors use new methods of measurement, which they have themselves developed, to present an analysis of the relation between membrane structure and viscoelastic properties, in particular in the transversal direction. Hianik and Passechnik's approach is fundamentally different from the usual one, in that they analyze lipid bilayer dynamics during various modes of deformation, arriving at a new, `three-layer' model that accounts for the great heterogeneity of biomembranes. The macroscopic parameters of membranes have been measured using a wide variety of methods, leading to a discussion of the correlations between the parameters. There is also an extensive discussion of the dynamic changes in mechanical properties of lipid bilayers in the course of conformational transition of integral proteins. During the conformational changes of proteins, the structure of a bilayer undergoes a transition, reaching a new, stable membrane state. The book is the first to present a comprehensive analysis of long-distance interaction in lipid bilayers and of molecular mechanisms of mechanoreception. Audience: Scientists and graduate students working in biophysics, membranology, physiology, medicine, pharmacology, bioelectronics, electrochemistry, and colloid chemistry.

This book was released on 2000-01-11 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the current status of research on bilayer lipid membranes (planar lipid bilayers and spherical liposomes). In addition to describing the properties of lipid bilayers and examining biomembrane phenomena, the book has two other objectives. The first is to present practical methods for the formation and study of lipid bilayers with either aqueous or metal-lipid bilayer interfaces. The second aim is to treat planar lipid bilayers as a new type of interfacial adsorption phenomena. The first nine chapters cover properties of biomembranes, basic principles of membrane biophysics, transport, electrochemistry, physiology, bioenergetics, and photobiology. Chapter 10 presents the following topics: lipid bilayers in medicine, supported lipid bilayers as sensors, a short discussion of liposomes, and solar energy transduction via semiconductor septum photovoltaic cells based on natural photosynthesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outer limiting boundary of a cell, the cell membrane, is a bilayered lipid membrane and it gives the cell control over its internal environment. A realistic in vitro model of the cell membrane can help gain invaluable information about fundamental life processes. A self-assembled bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) made from phospholipids resembles the cell membrane in structure and function and can be used as a model. However, the mechanical and electrical instability of the BLM poses a major problem to its wide experimental study. The purpose of this work was to study and develop flexible and porous polymer membranes to act as supporting scaffolds for bilayer lipid membranes (BLM). Commercially available polycarbonate filters and laboratory synthesized porous poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) membranes were examined for the application. Lipid structure and BLM stability was determined by ion flow measurements. Ion flow measurements showed that deposition of phospholipids on a porous membrane resulted in a 3 orders of magnitude increase in its ion flow resistance. This increase in ion flow resistance indicated formation of dense ion impermeable structures in the pores of the membranes. On addition of Gramicidin- D, which is an ion channel forming molecule, to the above system, a drastic decrease in ion flow resistance was observed. This suggested formation of Gramicidin-D ion channels within the ion impermeable phospholipid structures. Gramicidin- D can form ion channels only across unit bilayer lipids. Thus, the decreased ion flow resistance pointed towards a stable bilayer structure within the membrane pores. Thus, stabilized BLMs were formed in the membrane pores with the polymer membrane providing it mechanical stability. In a preliminary study utilizing another kind of an ion channel, Kv1.5 potassium ion channels were successfully reconstituted within BLMs supported by PLLA membranes. These studies have led to the conclusion that membranes with pore sizes of 3-10u with an aspect ratio nearing 3 are good scaffolds for BLM stabilization. Also, better pore structure uniformity aids BLM formation and stabilization.

Book excerpt: Biological Techniques is a series of volumes aimed at introducing to a wide audience the latest advances in methodology. The pitfalls and problems of new techniques are given due consideration, as are those small but vital details not always explicit in the methods sections of journal papers.In recent years, most biological laboratories have been invaded by computers and a wealth of new DNA technology and this will be reflected in many of the titles appearing in the series.The books will be of value to advanced researchers and graduate students seeking to learn and apply new techniques, and will be useful to teachers of advanced undergraduate courses involving practical or project work.Methods of constructing artificial membranes (planar lipid bilayers) from the main components of cell membranes (lipids) date from the early 1960s.Planar bilayers offer direct, quantitative experimental approaches to the study of membranes of precisely determined composition which can be manipulated by the experimenter. Pore-forming molecules, transporter molecules, ATP-dependent enzymes and other entities can be incorporated into the bilayers to simulate biological functions.Reconstitution of such functions in this way remains a key final step in attributing a functional role to purified cell membrane proteins.This book aims to demystify these techniques and begins with a broad overview of the development of the subject before dealing with the protocols involved.Key references are provided at the end of the book together with a list of suppliers. Full practical details include: How to set up conventional painted and folded bilayer experiments Patch-dipping methods and use of giant liposomes Lipid characterization, preparation and purification Discussion of construction of essential apparatus, flux measurements, electrical recording, data acquisition and computer support Biochemical methods for use in planar bilayer experiments Techniques for incorporation of native proteins and other molecules
