New Approaches to Producing Floating Supported Bilayers

Abstract: The complex sample environment needed for floating supported bilayers has often led to a need to constantly redevelop the system to improve reproducibility. Here we plan to examine the fabrication of floating supported bilayers below two differing grafted Self assembled monolayers; namely (15-Mercaptopentadecyl)-1-aminoethanol (SH(CH2)15CONHC2H4OH) and diothiol-dilaurylphosphatidylcholine (2SH-DLPC). The two SAM will be examined with and with free floating DPPC and then dDPPC/RaLPS bilayers. If successful the use of these relatively inexpensive and stable thiols should enhance our ability to produce realistic bio-mimetic membrane systems for the neutron reflection community.
