They consist of a double layer ("bilayer") of lipids that contain a hydrophilic head group and generally two long, hydrophobic tails. Whereas the head groups face outwards, the hydrophobic tail ...

Here, we review different classes of polymer-supported lipid membrane and the various ... The second approach we will cover aims to electrochemically detect membrane-protein function by using ...

First, we adopted model membranes to investigate the lipid-lipid interplay in microdomains so-called ‘lipid rafts’. Next, we elucidated an essential role of water molecules in the state-of-art ...

Lipids are amphiphilic molecules derived from organisms, and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties ... lipids modified by the hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Figure ...
