Abstract
Lipid bilayers are very common systems to study cell membrane mechanics, structure and phase behavior. Lipids are the major component of plasma and cell membrane. Given their amphiphilic nature with hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, lipid molecules can self-assemble into numerous mesophases like micelles, vesicles, and tubes. This makes these lipid multilamellar vesicles attractive and important models of plasma membranes in cells. This research image demonstrates the possible vesicle structure when two type of phospholipids (DOPC and DPPC, 50:50 mol ratio) coexist as investigated by scanning laser optical microscopy (CLSM). Phospholipids were labeled using RL- Rhod B fluorescent dye (magenta color). Scale bar is 5 μm.
