Phase diagrams and ordering in charged membranes: Binary mixtures of charged and neutral lipids
Naofumi Shimokawa, Hiroki Himeno, Tsutomu Hamada +3
We propose a model describing the phase behavior of two-component membranes consisting of binary mixtures of electrically charged and neutral lipids. We take into account the struc…
Coupling between pore formation and phase separation in charged lipid membranes
Hiroki Himeno, Hiroaki Ito, Yuji Higuchi +3
We investigated the effect of charge on the membrane morphology of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) composed of various mixtures containing charged lipids. We observed the membran…
Charge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes
Hiroki Himeno, Naofumi Shimokawa, Shigeyuki Komura +3
The phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibi…
Domain Growth Kinetics in a Cell-sized Liposome
Daisuke Saeki, Tsutomu Hamada, Kenichi Yoshikawa
We investigated the kinetics of domain growth on liposomes consisting of a ternary mixture (unsaturated phospholipid, saturated phospholipid, and cholesterol) by temperature jump.…
Reversible photo-switching in a cell-sized vesicle
Tsutomu Hamada, Yuko T. Sato, Takeshi Nagasaki +1
A photosensitive amphiphilic molecule can switch the shape of an assembled vesicle as determined by microscopic observation. Photo-isomerization induces a change in membrane fluctu…
