The Role of Lipid Membranes in Life's Origin
For instance, oleic acid, with 18 carbons and a single cis double bond at the 9-10 position begins to form vesicles at a concentration of 3 mM . However, the equivalent chain length without a double bond is stearic acid, which is a solid and unable to assemble into bilayers until the temperature reaches its melting point of 68 °C.

Biological membranes
Amphipathic lipids form bilayers. All membrane lipids are amphipathic—that is, they contain both a hydrophilic (water-loving) region and a hydrophobic (water-hating) region. Thus the most favourable environment for the hydrophilic head is an aqueous one, whereas the hydrophobic tail is more stable in a lipid environment.

Next, in 1925, Gorter and Grendel suggested that lipids are arranged in a "bilayer." A scheme of the molecular organization of lipid bilayers was proposed by Davson and Danielli in 1935, who suggested that proteins coat the surface of the lipid bilayer, in what was known as the "unit membrane" hypothesis.

Lipid Bilayer Stability in Biological Membranes
It has long been known that many membrane lipids spontaneously form a bilayer when mixed with water (Luzzati, 1968). Recently, it was also indicated that even a membrane protein may form a bilayer structure (Carlsson, 1981). The Singer and Nicolson (1972) model of a biomembrane is based on the assumption that the lipids form a bilayer matrix in ...

3.2.3: Micelles and Bilayers
The micelle interior is completely nonpolar. Spherical bilayers that enclose an aqueous compartment are called vesicles or liposomes. Micelles and bilayers, formed from single and double-chain amphiphiles, respectively, represent noncovalent aggregates and hence are formed by an entirely physical process. No covalent steps are required.
Such bilayers could form the basis for novel switchable systems as will be discussed later. As mentioned, the crystal symmetry is of key importance to many applications of 2D materials.
Structural and mechanical parameters of lipid bilayer membranes using a
It is clear that bilayers consisting of lipids with shorter and bulkier tails have a higher tendency to form cubic phases compared to lipids with fewer and longer tails. Depending on the goal, varying the bulkiness of the tails can be a systematic strategy to obtain self-assembled structures of a desired topology.
Perspectives: Synthetic Bilayer Membrane and Giant Nanomembrane
This is a short story of the beginning of our research on bilayer assembly and its subsequent developments. Inspired by the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane, we started in the mid 1970's to look for the synthetic counterpart of membrane-forming biolipids. It was soon found by electron microscopy that the stable molecular bilayer was formed from double−chain ammonium amphiphiles ...

Abstract. In 1918, the year the Journal of General Physiology was founded, there was little understanding of the structure of the cell membrane. It was evident that cells had invisible barriers separating the cytoplasm from the external solution.

fluid bilayers are formed from component lipid molecules, and mobile protein molecules are buried in the lipid bilayer as a mosaic pattern. I was curious as to why the biological lipid (particularly lecithin) should be unique in providing the stable bilayer structure. My hypothesis was that the unique molecular
How bilayer properties influence membrane protein folding
Acyl chains have varying lengths and can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated chains can pack more densely and reduce fluidity in the bilayer. Lipids with saturated acyl chains or those with an overall cylindrical shape tend to form planar bilayers. Lipids with unsaturated chains or with conical shapes tend to curve toward water.
Supported polymer/lipid hybrid bilayers formation resembles a lipid
Their enhanced stability and excellent mechanical properties are linked to their higher molecular weight which generates thicker bilayers. Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that reducing the molecular weight of the polymer facilitates the formation of a thinner, more homogeneous polymer/lipid hybrid bilayer which would benefit the formation of ...
