DOI: 10.1002/open.201900374
Abstract: Abstract We designed multiblock amphiphiles AmF and AmH, which consist of perfluorinated and non‐fluorinated hydrophobic units, respectively. Absorption spectroscopy revealed that both amphiphiles are molecularly dispersed in organic solvent, while they form aggregates under aqueous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.449
Abstract: In contrast to the diffusion of membrane components in artificial lipid bilayers, diffusion in cells is both slower and non-ergodic. The physical origins of such anomalous diffusion are poorly understood, though cytoskeletal-membrane interactions and nanoscopic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-89150-2
Abstract: In this work we describe the functionalization of metallurgically polished aluminum surfaces yielding biomimetic electrodes suitable for probing protein/phospholipid interactions. The functionalization involves two simple steps: silanization of the aluminum and subsequent fusion of multilamellar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d1sc03545b
Abstract: Lipid bilayer membranes form compartments requisite for life. Interfacing supramolecular systems, including receptors, catalysts, signal transducers and ion transporters, enables the function of the membrane to be controlled in artificial and living cellular compartments. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d3sm00409k
Abstract: Curvature-mediated lipid-protein interactions are important determinants of numerous vital cellular reactions and mechanisms. Biomimetic lipid bilayer membranes, such as giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), coupled with quantum dot (QD) fluorescent probes, provide an avenue to elucidate… read more here.
