Controlled initiation of enzymatic reactions in micrometer-sized biomimetic compartments

Article Abstract:

A technique to initiate chemical reaction involving few reactants inside micrometer-scale biomimetic vesicles (10(super -12) to 10(super -15) L) integral to three-dimensional surfactant networks is presented. The technique allows containers with different contents to be merged in a controlled manner without creating pores in the membrane.

Densely stacked multilamellar and oligovesicular vesicles, bilayer cylinders, and tubes joining with vesicles of a salt-free catanionic extractant and surfactant system

Article Abstract:

The deformation of densely stacked multilamellar vesicles formed by mixing di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate(HDEHP) with a cationic trimethyltetradecylammonium hydroxide (TTAOH) in water is reported. The new salt-free catanionic extractant and surfactant system could find potential application in vesicle-phase extraction technology.

Formation and transport of nanotube-integrated vesicles in a lipid bilayer network

Article Abstract:

A physical explanation of the formation and transport of submicrometer-sized vesicles integrated on lipid nanotubes that conjugate surface-adhered giant vesicles is presented. The system paves a new technological platform to produce a novel class of microfludic and nanofludic devices.
