Dynamic studies of the interaction of a pH responsive, amphiphilic polymer with a DOPC lipid membrane
Soft Matter, 13, 3690-3700 (2017)

Deeper understanding of the molecular interactions between polymeric materials and the lipid membrane is important across a range of applications from permeation for drug delivery to encapsulation for immuno-evasion. Using highly fluidic microcavity supported lipid bilayers, we studied […]
Poly-ethylene glycol induced super-diffusivity in lipid bilayer membranes
Thibault Tabarin, Aaron Martin, Robert J. Forster and Tia E. Keyes
Soft Matter, 8, 8743-8751 (2012)
Fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy (FLCS) has been used to probe the influence of PEG-8000 on the fluidity of fluorescently labeled planar supported lipid bilayers on ozone plasma treated glass. The lipid membrane compositions examined were; DOPC, DOPC/DOPS (80/20 mol/mol) […]
