Various Types of Biomimetic Membranes

As distinct from sohd supports such as gold or silver, mercury imparts lateral mobihty to hpid monolayers directly self-assembled on its surface, because of its liquid state. This is demonstrated by rapid spontaneous phase separation, with microdomain formation, in a hpid mixture monolayer self-assembled on top of a DPTL thiolipid monolayer tethered to a mercury microelectrode [30]. The presence of microdomains was directly verified from the images of the distal hpid monolayer obtained using two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. 

Biomimetic membranes comprising a hpid bilayer are discussed here in the order of approximately increasing complexity.

Since the PC group is a polar head of a major lipid component of the cell membrane of red blood cell which is the only nonadherent cell among various blood cell types, a biomimetic approach to incorporating the PC group on the surface at the terminal end of water-soluble graft polymers has been...
