TLDR
The combination of SPR and QCM-D, complemented by atomic force microscopy measurements, has enabled a complete, time-resolved separation of vesicle and bilayer coverages, and thus, for the first time, allowed precise quantification of the critical surface coverage ofvesicles needed for rupture.
Abstract
We have used a new setup for parallel quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements to measure the detailed kinetics of vesicle-to-bilayer transformation on SiO2 and vesicle adsorption on Au, respectively. The combination of SPR and QCM-D, complemented by atomic force microscopy measurements, has enabled a complete, time-resolved separation of vesicle and bilayer coverages, and thus, for the first time, allowed precise quantification of the critical surface coverage of vesicles needed for rupture. We furthermore demonstrate and quantify a previously undetected vesicle-size- and concentration-dependent loss of lipid material during the later stages of the process.

Configurations of fluid membranes and vesicles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the systematic physical theory developed to understand the static and dynamic aspects of membrane and vesicle configurations, and the preferred shapes arise from a competition between curvature energy which derives from the bending elasticity of the membrane, geometrical constraints such as fixed surface area and fixed enclosed volume, and a signature of the bilayer aspect.
