The chemical and physical properties of supported lipid bilayers
Abstract
Lipid-lipid and lipid-support interactions have been investigated using supported lipid bilayers. Experimental results of these interactions will be discussed in six chapters. The first chapter provides an introduction and background to the molecules investigated, experimental system, research objectives, and organization of the thesis. The second chapter provides experimental details and the methodology of the experiments conducted herein. Chapters three through five are based on papers that have been published, or are in submission to be published, as a result of this work, with the addition of some recently obtained results included at the end of chapter five. The final chapter, chapter six, summarizes the overall work that has been done and addresses the future direction of this work.
