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.…
Elongation/Compaction of Giant DNA Caused by Depletion Interaction with a Flexible Polymer
M. Kojima, K. Kuobo, K. Yoshikawa
Structural changes in giant DNA induced by the addition of the flexible polymer PEG were examined by the method of single-DNA observation. In dilute DNA conditions, individual DNA…
Optical Levitation of a Droplet under Linear Increase of Gravitational Acceleration
Masahiro I. Kohira, Akihiro Isomura, Nobuyuki Magome +2
Optical levitation of a liquid droplet in gas phase was investigated under timedependent change of the gravitational acceleration with specific flight pattern of an airplane. Throu…
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…
Chemo-Sensitive Running Droplet
Yutaka Sumino, Masaharu Nagayama, Hiroyuki Kitahata +4
Chemical control of the spontaneous motion of a reactive oil droplet moving on a glass substrate under an aqueous phase is reported. Experimental results show that the self-motion…
Smooth/rough layering in liquid-crystalline/gel state of dry phospholipid film, in relation to its ability to generate giant vesicles
Mafumi Hishida, Hideki Seto, Kenichi Yoshikawa
Morphological changes in a dry phospholipid film on a solid substrate were studied below and above the main transition temperature, between the gel and liquid-crystalline phases by…
