We show that a two-step process, involving spontaneous self-assembly of lipids and apolipoproteins and surface patterning, produces single, supported lipid bilayers over two discrete and independently adjustable length scales. Specifically, an aqueous phas ...
In this work, the specific and nonspecific binding of proteins to planar surfaces was investigated. The surfaces were first modified by the spontaneous adsorption of a number of synthesized 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine lipids with different ...
The structure and energetics of the hexagonal reconstruction of Ir(100) have been determined with first principles density functional theory calculations based on the local-density approximation with the generalised-gradient correction. The results reprodu ...
We studied spark-generated shockwaves propagating inside stable water drops produced in microgravity. The closed and isolated liquid geometry results in a unique confinement of shockwaves, since the latter bounce of the free surface. This setting results i ...
Two peptides known to interact with receptors embedded in cell membranes, angiotensin III (AngIII) and Leuenkephalin(LeuEnk), were studied electrochemically at the interface formed between two immiscible electrolyte solutions modified by an adsorbed monola ...
In this work, an analysis based on a three-dimensional parallelized SPH model developed by ECN and applied to free surface impact simulations is presented. The aim of this work is to show that SPH simulations can be performed on huge computer as EPFL IBM B ...
Many fundamental processes that govern the function of biological cells occur on or immediately under the cell membrane. Fluorescence marking of specific sites has had a large impact in the recognition of these processes. In addition, observation in an app ...
The attachment of a tetradecyl chain to the ionophore 18-crown-6 leads to a stronger interaction with a supported lipid monolayer. Some C14-18-crown-6 mols. introduced in the aq. phase are incorporated in the phospholipid membrane. This process is used to ...
We studied spark-generated bubble inside stable water drops produced in microgravity. The closed and isolated liquid geometry results in a unique confinement of subsequent shockwaves, since the latter bounce of the free surface. This setting results in an ...
