Potential-Dependent-Adsorption and Reorientation Responses Associated With a Phospholipid Monolayer at the Water /Dichloroethane Interface
… electrolyte solutions (ITIES). Mixed films of a phospholipid, DLPC, and the fluorescent reporter lipid di-N-butylaminonaphthylethenyl-pyridiniumpropylsulfonate, I, were assembled at this interface from the bulk organic and aqueous phases respectively. The mechanical (interfacial tension) …

Structural and kinetic studies of surfactant and phospholipid monolayers at the air/liquid interface using sum-frequency generation spectroscopy
… used to investigate a variety of surfactant and phospholipid systems at different interfaces. Firstly, the effects of temperature and ionic strength on the adsorption of cationic and non-ionic surfactants were investigated. The binary surfactant system used here is a simplified hair conditioner …

The dynamics of leaf lipid droplets and the identification of a novel lipid droplet protein in Arabidopsis thaliana
… (TAGs), that is enclosed by a single phospholipid monolayer and decorated with a diverse array of ‘coat’ proteins. In plants, LDs are found in high abundance in pollen and oilseeds, and are ultimately mobilized in the latter as a carbon and energy source during post-germinative growth. …

Determination of the Structural and Functional Mechanisms of Perfluorocarbon-based Nanoemulsion Particle Interactions with Model Biomembrane Systems
… greasy droplets that are enclosed by emulsifying phospholipid monolayer. PFC-NEPs have been extensively developed for target-specific delivery of therapeutic agents such as imaging agents and drug molecules. Because of the extremely small sizes of PFC-NEPs and fluid nature of their surface, the …

Engineering Microbubbles with the Buried-Ligand Architecture for Targeted Ultrasound Molecular Imaging
… are gaseous microspheres stabilized with phospholipid monolayer shells. Because of their compressible gas core, they are highly echogenic. Taking advantage of this property, microbubbles are used as ultrasound contrast agents for signal enhancement. In addition, they are being developed …

Development of new tools to study drug-lipid interactions and their application to investigating amphotericin b's association with model cell membranes
… membrane systems were used: sterol-free lipid monolayers adsorbed to a Hg electrode and sterol-free or sterol-containing floating lipid monolayers on a Langmuir trough. Electrochemical control over the adsorbed monolayer allowed the defectiveness of the layer to be varied and the interaction of …
