Thermodynamic Relaxation Drives Expulsion in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
C. T. Leirer, B. Wunderlich, A. Wixforth +1
We investigated the thermodynamic relaxation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) which contained small vesicles within their interior. Quenching these vesicles from their fluid ph…
Simultaneously Propagating Voltage and Pressure Pulses in Lipid Monolayers of pork brain and synthetic lipids
J. Griesbauer, S. Boessinger, A. Wixforth +1
Hydrated interfaces are ubiquitous in biology and appear on all length scales from ions, individual molecules to membranes and cellular networks. In vivo, they comprise a high degr…
Wave Propagation in Lipid Monolayers
J. Griesbauer, A. Wixforth, M. F. Schneider
Sound waves are excited on lipid monolayers using a set of planar electrodes aligned in parallel with the excitable medium. By measuring the frequency dependent change in the later…
Thermo-mechanic-electrical coupling in phospholipid monolayers near the critical point
D. Steppich, J. Griesbauer, T. Frommelt +3
Lipid monolayers have been shown to represent a powerful tool in studying mechanical and thermodynamic properties of lipid membranes as well as their interaction with proteins. Usi…
Phase Transition Induced Fission in Lipid Vesicles
C. Leirer, B. Wunderlich, V. M. Myles +1
In this work we demonstrate how the first order phase transition in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can function as a trigger for membrane fission. When driven through their gel-…
Phase state dependent current fluctuations in pure lipid membranes
B. Wunderlich, C . Leirer, A-L. Idzko +5
Current fluctuations in pure lipid membranes have been shown to occur under the influence of transmembrane electric fields (electroporation) as well as a result from structural rea…
