Three-phase coexistence in binary charged lipid membranes in hypotonic solution
Jingyu Guo, Hiroaki Ito, Yuji Higuchi +3
We investigated the phase separation of dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in giant unilamellar vesicles in hypotonic solution using fluore…

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…

Molecular behavior of DNA in a cell-sized compartment coated by lipids
T. Hamada, R. Fujimoto, S. F. Shimobayashi +2
The behavior of long DNA molecules in a cell-sized confined space was investigated. We prepared water-in-oil droplets covered by phospholipids, which mimic the inner space of a cel…
