在这项工作中，溶剂交换协议被提出，其中脂类在醇（异丙醇，乙醇或正丙醇）温育与固体载体上，然后将醇逐渐取代用含水缓冲溶液中，以驱动一系列相变的最终生产层状相脂质双层24。它表明，该方法使得能够支持的脂质双层的制造在表面上，例如金，它是顽固性的囊泡融合方法。 最佳的脂质浓度范围（0.1 - 0.5毫克/毫升）已被确定为完整双层形成在标准实验格式测试迄今。在低于0.1毫克/毫升，离散的，微观双层的补丁血脂浓度而形成的。另一方面，在浓度高于0.1毫克/毫升和低于0.5毫克/毫升，一个完整而均匀的双层形成。在高于该范围血脂浓度，流体双层仍形成为的核查通过FRAP分析编，但是，荧光显微镜揭示的额外脂质结构上该双层的顶部的存在。引人注目的是，这些附加的脂质结构的形态，如由QCM-D分析确定，取决于在其上在培养步骤中使用的醇。在乙醇的情况下，相对高的Δf和Δð移类似于用于吸附囊泡层得到的QCM-D签名。当异丙醇或正丙醇代替所使用的，Δτf为比预期的双层（-30至-40赫兹最终ΔF）的值略高，而ΔD为相当高的。这样的QCM-D响应将预期用于扩展脂质结构（例如，蠕虫状胶束）从膜表面向外突出（如通过在某些情况下，荧光显微镜可见）。 溶剂交换的速率可以是临界的另一个重要参数，ESPECially当低血脂浓度（ 例如，0.1毫克/毫升）使用。在低浓度的脂质快速溶剂交换可导致不完全的双层的形成。在用于本文的QCM-D测量（Q-感E4测量室），约100微升/分钟的流速的标准测量室，均适宜高度可重复的完整双层形成。对于流细胞与其他的几何形状和体积，最佳流速可以变化，并且基于本文提出的步骤必须根据经验确定。 除了形成支持的脂质双层上的表面是难治到囊泡融合，所述SALB可以被用来规避需要脂质囊泡可破裂，从而打开门支持膜具有复杂的组合物的制造。作为说明性实例组合物，与胆甾醇的高分数的脂质的混合物进行了研究。胆固醇是mamm的重要组成部分阿莲细胞膜，它的分数可能接近45-50％（摩尔）的膜脂组成（如红细胞）。因此，脂质双层的代表人体细胞膜即使一个简单的模型应该包括胆固醇。 而小泡的融合可以用于制造仅含有10-15％的胆固醇的流体脂质双层，该SALB方法能够形成含胆固醇的高分数的流体脂质双层（高达57％（摩尔），作为量化的QCM-D测量）36。但是，当胆甾醇的水平进一步升高（最多63摩尔％），条纹形状结构域观察到37。共存的结构域是液体，使人联想起在空气 - 水界面中的β区观察到胆固醇/磷脂单层的相图。 总体而言，SALB方法证明是一种简单而有效的方法，以形成支持的脂质双层，尤其是我n个个案超出常规的囊泡融合方法的范围。迄今为止，QCM-D技术和荧光显微镜主要用来表征由SALB方法形成的支持的脂质双层。展望未来，范围广泛的表面敏感分析测量技术，包括表面等离子共振（SPR）38，原子力显微镜（AFM）39,40，傅立叶变换红外光谱41，X射线42和中子反射率43，可以可用于进一步表征和研究简单和复杂的双层结构准备由SALB方法。这些新兴的功能，打开大门，更多的科学家谁可以采取一个简单而强大的实验方案的优势，探索人工细胞膜。

固体支持的脂质双层1（SLB）是一种多功能的平台，其保留生物膜的基本特性，如双层厚度，二维脂质扩散率，和主机膜相关的生物分子的能力。由于天然细胞膜的复杂性，这个简单的平台已经显示用作用于体外研究膜相关的处理的诸如筏形成2，蛋白质的高效平台结合3，病毒和病毒样颗粒的结合4,5-和细胞信号6。形成在靠近固体支持物，所述SLB平台是与一系列的表面敏感的测量技术相容如全内反射显微镜（TIRF），石英晶体微天平耗散（QCM-D）和阻抗谱。 几种方法已经被开发，以生产不同类型的SLBs的，包括气泡崩7和蘸笔纳米光刻8为亚微米尺寸的脂质斑点，旋涂为双层堆叠和LB膜（LB）10和囊泡融合（VF）11，用于全跨越，单脂质双层涂层9。在VF方法包括小单层囊泡吸附到固体支持物和随后的自发破裂和熔化，形成连续的脂质双层。然而，在生理条件下，自发囊泡破裂主要限于硅系材料，如二氧化硅，玻璃，和云母。此外，泡囊破裂不会发生自发为复合脂质组合物的囊泡，例如含有胆甾醇或带负电荷的脂质的高级分。根据不同的系统，囊泡破裂可通过进一步剪裁实验条件，如温度12，溶液的pH值13，和盐度14，渗透压休克15被诱导</s向上&gt;或压力16，或添加二价离子如钙离子的17，另外，在膜的活性AH肽可以破坏的层吸附囊泡被引入，导致小泡破裂和双层形成在一系列表面18-22。 此外，成功的双层形成需要制备的小单层囊泡，可以是耗时且难以实现的某些膜的组合物良好控制的人口。因此，尽管其高效率的最佳情况下（例如，后囊23的广泛冻融预处理），囊泡融合的一般应用由合适的底物和膜组合物的范围的限制。 的溶剂辅助脂质双层（SALB）方法24-28是一种替代的制造技术，它不需要的脂质囊泡。该方法是基于沉积Ô˚F脂质分子上在与水混溶的有机溶剂后用此溶剂与以触发SLB形成缓冲水溶液逐渐交换的存在下的固体表面。在溶剂交换步骤，脂质，有机溶剂的三元混合物，和水进行一系列相变而增加水部分，这导致层状相的结构在本体溶液的形成和SLB固体基材上。重要的是，该自组装的路线绕过需要囊泡破裂​​，这通常是用于吸附囊泡转​​变成一个SLB限制步骤。该协议是适用于多种表面，包括二氧化硅，氧化铝，铬，铟锡氧化物，和金的。在本文和在所附的视频，脂质沉积由SALB和囊泡融合方法进行了比较，提出。特别是，实验参数的影响，包括脂浓度，流量，和水混溶性有机溶剂的选择，由所述SALB法形成的双层的质量进行了讨论。所制造的SLBs的分析表征由QCM-D，荧光显微镜，荧光漂白恢复（FRAP）技术之后进行。 QCM-D监测是，由于由Keller和Kasemo 29进行的开创性工作，已被广泛用于定量研究双层形成一个表面感光质量测量的技术。荧光显微镜允许膜均一性的检查以及膜结构域的可视化。的FRAP技术是一个标准的工具，以确定在SLB，这是流体膜的一个重要性质脂质分子的横向流动。 该研究的第一部分涉及SALB应用到试图对二氧化硅和金双层形成的QCM-D分析和囊泡融合的方法。在第二部分中，的制备方法和含有一个范围胆固醇浓度与SALB方法的支持膜表征演示了，结果与那些由囊泡融合方法获得了比较。

biomembrane fabrication by the solvent-assisted lipid bilayer (salb) method

为了模仿细胞膜，所支持的脂质双层（SLB）是一个有吸引力的平台使在膜相关过程的体外调查而赋予的生物相容性和生物功能，以固体基质。磷脂小泡的自发吸附和破裂是最常用的方法来形成的SLBs。然而，在生理条件下，囊泡融合（VF）被限制在脂质组合物和固体载体的一个子集。这里，我们描述为了形成SLBs的，它不需要囊泡一个称为溶剂辅助脂质双层（SALB）的形成方法的一个步骤的一般方法。所述SALB方法以触发SLB形成包括脂质分子上的沉积，在水混溶的有机溶剂（例如，异丙醇）中，用缓冲水溶液后续溶剂交换的存在下的固体表面。连续的溶剂交换步骤使应用程​​序的方法在适合于监视双层形成和使用范围广泛的表面敏感的生物传感器进一步修改的流通配置。所述SALB方法可被用于制造SLBs的就广泛亲水固体表面，包括那些棘手到囊泡融合的。此外，它使SLBs的脂质组合物的构成不能使用的囊泡融合方法制备的制造。在此，我们比较有两个说明性的亲水性的表面，二氧化硅和黄金SALB和常规囊泡融合方法得到的结果。为了优化实验条件用于制备经由SALB方法制备高品质双层，各种参数，包括有机溶剂在沉积步骤的类型，溶剂交换的速率，和脂质浓度的效果连同故障排除提示讨论。含胆固醇高的分数支持膜的形成也是魔鬼trated与SALB方法，突出SALB技术的技术能力，适用范围广的膜配置。

制造亲水性基材支持脂质双层。 的音频和SALB形成方法进行了尝试对二氧化硅和金并在实时的QCM-D测量技术监测的形成过程。在大规模的吸附的振荡压电石英晶体到晶体的表面的QCM-D测量仪器中的共振频率（ΔF）的变化。此外，QCM-D仪器测量以表征所述吸附层的粘弹性（刚性和柔软性）的振荡能量的消耗。泡融合实验如前所述31进行。简要地说，一个基线最初成立于水性缓冲液〔10毫摩尔Tris，150mM的氯化钠，pH值7.5的频率和耗散信号; （图2A 和B）。接着，在相同的缓冲液小单层DOPC脂质囊泡分别在投影在 t = 10分钟（箭头1）到二氧化硅（ 图2A）和金（图2B）。有关二氧化硅囊泡融合，两步吸附动力学，观察在-26（±1）赫兹频率和能量耗散和0.3最终改变（±0.2）×10 - ，6分别。这些值是用支持的脂质双层29的形成是一致的。 如图2B所示，除了囊泡溶液到金表面的导致了同时减少和增加Δf和ΔD信号 ，分别直到它们的值达到-150（±10）Hz和（7.5±2） ×10 - 6。这些值对应于被吸附的囊泡层的形成。因此，正如所料，一个SLB没有通过囊泡融合法形成黄金。 QC对于双层形成于二氧化硅和金由SALB方法的MD分析示于图2C和 D。上二氧化硅，的-25.6（±0.55）最终Δf和Δð移位赫兹和0.4（±0.27）×10 - 6，分别实现，并且这些值表示形成一个SLB的。 Δf和 Δ 的D类似范围（Δ˚F 金 :-27.3±2.7赫兹，Δð 金 :0.48（±0.26）×10 - 6），观察其对黄金。这些结果支持了SALB方法能够在其上防止囊泡破裂面形成支持的脂质双层。 溶剂交换流量对支持的脂质双层的质量。 为了确定最佳条件为高品质的支持脂双层六制造一个所述SALB方法，脂质浓度，溶剂交换速率和有机溶剂的选择的影响进行了研究。 图3显示了在SALB协议的最后步骤中的QCM-D频率的变化，如在两个不同的流速（100和600微升/分钟）和两种不同的脂质浓度（0.125和0.5mg / ml）的执行上二氧化硅。 当0.5毫克/毫升DOPC脂质，使用（图3A），双层形式并不受流动速率和大约-26赫兹在两个流速得到最终ΔF移位。 相反，当一个低脂质浓度使用，吸附脂质后完成溶剂交换的量显著受流动速率（ 图3B）。以100微升/分钟的平均流动速率，双层形成完成（约-26赫兹ΔF）。然而，在6倍较高流速（600微升/分钟），一个完整的双层不形成（大约-17赫兹ΔF）。这些结果提供了指导选择合适的实验条件，使用方法SALB用异丙醇作为首选的有机溶剂成功的双层形成。 从各种醇溶液不同血脂浓度形成支持的脂质双分子层的表征。 脂浓度是影响SLBs中的通过使用SALB方法获得的质量的另一参数。荧光显微镜显示，在0.05毫克/毫升脂质浓度，只有分离的，亚微观脂质结构形成（图4A）。而增大SALB过程中所使用的脂质浓度，脂质结构的荧光强度变得更加均匀。以0.1mg / ml的脂质浓度，有微观脂质斑块虽然结构没有跨越整个F跨越的视图ield（图4B）。然而，当为0.25mg / ml的脂质浓度为所使用的，均匀的脂质双层形成（图4C）。因此，存在以形成一个完整的，跨越SLB所需的最小的脂质浓度。 在SALB实验的最后结果的脂质浓度的影响也检查在更宽的脂质浓度范围（0.01至5mg / ml）和在不同的有机溶剂（异丙醇，乙醇和正丙醇）。的Δf和对应于SALB过程中的最后一步ΔD取值 示于图5。 我们定义双层形成基于-25和-30赫兹和小于0.5×10 -6，分别之间最终的变化频率和能量耗散。根据这些标准，最佳脂质浓度范围，以形成一个支持的脂质双层被确定为在0.1和0.5mg/毫升很大程度上独立的有机溶剂的类型。在所获取的Δf和ΔD中的偏差偏移的上述范围以外是由于附加质量（例如，双层叠层），的非双层形貌的发生（例如，水疱，蠕虫状胶束）的存在，和零散双层岛与整个基板不完整的形态存在。 而SALB过程来得到支持的脂双层是比较稳健的，高品质的双层形成的最佳脂质浓度可能需要调谐取决于具体的实验配置。基本上，存在不仅是一个最小的脂质浓度，但也需要经由SALB方法最佳双层形成一个最大的脂质浓度。最佳浓度范围取决于流速和可能也受基板和脂质组合物。根据经验，在许多情况下，我们有found即0.5毫克/毫升和100微升的流速的脂质浓度/ min是用于均质支持的脂质双层的形成条件的最佳集合。然而，根据不同的脂类组合物和流动池几何后者影响期间脂质浓度的溶剂交换进一步优化流动轮廓可能是必要的。因此，我们建议您使用0.5毫克/毫升脂浓度和评价使用QCM-D或荧光显微镜技术的双层质量进行试点SALB实验。如果双层出现不完整的，则所述脂质浓度应在10％的递增增加，直到满意的成果得以实现。如果该双层似乎具有附加脂质结构共存，则脂质浓度应在10％的递增下降，直至满意的疗效得以实现。 支持的脂质双层与各种脂质组合物以及d的制造ifferent胆固醇分数。 接着，SALB和VF方法被采用，以形成胆固醇-富集的SLBs;图6示出了包含胆固醇编写的SALB方法支持膜的代表性荧光图像（100×100微米）。这种膜由通过特征的统一的荧光亮度的连续相包围的圆形染料排除在外域。暗域面积的增加而增加胆固醇分数前体脂质混合物。接着，FRAP测量为了检查脂质双层膜的流动性被执行。该FRAP测量显示在周围阶段几乎完全荧光恢复，说明脂质的横向流动，从而形成一个单一的脂质双层的。由于的Rh-PE隔板优先进入流体相，暗域最有可能由密集的胆固醇丰富的结构。 </P&gt; 为了比较，使用VF方法DOPC /胆固醇双层膜的制造还尝试。 DOPC泡囊随着胆固醇部分（10 - 40摩尔％），制备囊泡挤出方法。的Rh-PE脂质（0.5重量％）用作荧光标记进行成像。 图7示出在玻璃基板与含有胆固醇的囊泡的孵化产生结构的代表性荧光图像（100×100微米）。 FRAP分析表明使用含有20摩尔％澈或更少囊泡的流体脂质双层的形成。然而，样品制备用囊泡具有更高胆固醇馏分并没有表现出恢复，这表明吸附的但是未破裂囊泡的存在。 胆固醇将其最终掺入支持脂质双层的馏分量化为胆固醇馏分已被包括在该前体唇的函数的id混合物在SALB方法或在音频方法水溶液囊泡有机溶剂。使用QCM-D技术，双层形式进行了监测，然后MβCD加入以专门从支持的脂质双层32提取澈。质量损失由于除去胆固醇导致了频移的绝对值减少与SLB关联（| |＆Delta F）。所造成的MβCD处理步骤的相对正频移示于图8A。胆固醇的摩尔分数基础上的频移进行了计算，如在图8B呈现。 掺入编写的SALB方法支持的脂质双层中的胆固醇百分率为几乎线性正比于前体的脂质混合物中的胆固醇含量。有趣的是，编写的VF方法在双层的胆固醇部分（小泡含至多20摩尔％澈）比包含在前体囊泡低得多。事实上，胆固醇通过VF方法得到的最高分数仅约为10摩尔％。 条纹上层建筑中胆固醇的磷脂的β两相共存区域观察支持的脂质双层。 SALB实验使用的脂质混合物与胆固醇的一个更高的级分进一步进行。当4:使用DOPC和胆固醇的混合物6，均匀的液相逐渐分层成两个共存相形象化为在黑暗（染料不含）背景明亮的条形结构域观察到（图9）。经确定的Rh-PE被排除富含胆固醇的结构域33，并因此而出现作为背景的主导暗域是胆固醇富集区域。微米大小的亮域在一个黑暗的背景，在形成喜GH胆固醇级分（&gt;

Formation of Biomembrane Microarrays with a Squeegee-based Assembly Method

Lipid bilayer membranes form the plasma membranes of cells and define the boundaries of subcellular organelles. In nature, these membranes are heterogeneous mixtures of many types of lipids, contain membrane-bound proteins and are decorated with carbohydrates. In some experiments, it is desirable to decouple the biophysical or biochemical properties of the lipid bilayer from those of the natural membrane. Such cases call for the use of model systems such as giant vesicles, liposomes or supported lipid bilayers (SLBs). Arrays of SLBs are particularly attractive for sensing applications and mimicking cell-cell interactions. Here we describe a new method for forming SLB arrays. Submicron-diameter SiO2 beads are first coated with lipid bilayers to form spherical SLBs (SSLBs). The beads are then deposited into an array of micro-fabricated submicron-diameter microwells. The preparation technique uses a "squeegee" to clean the substrate surface, while leaving behind SSLBs that have settled into microwells. This method requires no chemical modification of the microwell substrate, nor any particular targeting ligands on the SSLB. Microwells are occupied by single beads because the well diameter is tuned to be just larger than the bead diameter. Typically, more 75% of the wells are occupied, while the rest remain empty. In buffer SSLB arrays display long-term stability of greater than one week. Multiple types of SSLBs can be placed in a single array by serial deposition, and the arrays can be used for sensing, which we demonstrate by characterizing the interaction of cholera toxin with ganglioside GM1. We also show that phospholipid vesicles without the bead supports and biomembranes from cellular sources can be arrayed with the same method and cell-specific membrane lipids can be identified.

Supported lipid bilayers and natural membrane particles are convenient systems that can approximate the properties of cell membranes and be incorporated in a variety of analytical strategies. Here we demonstrate a method for preparing microarrays composed of supported lipid bilayer-coated SiO2 beads, phospholipid vesicles or natural membrane particles.

Lipid Bilayer Vesicle Generation Using Microfluidic Jetting

Bottom-up synthetic biology presents a novel approach for investigating and reconstituting biochemical systems and, potentially, minimal organisms. This emerging field engages engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists to design and assemble basic biological components into complex, functioning systems from the bottom up. Such bottom-up systems could lead to the development of artificial cells for fundamental biological inquiries and innovative therapies1,2. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can serve as a model platform for synthetic biology due to their cell-like membrane structure and size. Microfluidic jetting, or microjetting, is a technique that allows for the generation of GUVs with controlled size, membrane composition, transmembrane protein incorporation, and encapsulation3. The basic principle of this method is the use of multiple, high-frequency fluid pulses generated by a piezo-actuated inkjet device to deform a suspended lipid bilayer into a GUV. The process is akin to blowing soap bubbles from a soap film. By varying the composition of the jetted solution, the composition of the encompassing solution, and/or the components included in the bilayer, researchers can apply this technique to create customized vesicles. This paper describes the procedure to generate simple vesicles from a droplet interface bilayer by microjetting.

Microfluidic jetting against a droplet interface lipid bilayer provides a reliable way to generate vesicles with control over membrane asymmetry, incorporation of transmembrane proteins, and encapsulation of material. This technique can be applied to study a variety of biological systems where compartmentalized biomolecules are desired.

Atomic Force Microscopy Imaging and Force Spectroscopy of Supported Lipid Bilayers

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a versatile, high-resolution imaging technique that allows visualization of biological membranes. It has sufficient magnification to examine membrane substructures and even individual molecules. AFM can act as a force probe to measure interactions and mechanical properties of membranes. Supported lipid bilayers are conventionally used as membrane models in AFM studies. In this protocol, we demonstrate how to prepare supported bilayers and characterize their structure and mechanical properties using AFM. These include bilayer thickness and breakthrough force. 
The information provided by AFM imaging and force spectroscopy help define mechanical and chemical properties of membranes. These properties play an important role in cellular processes such as maintaining cell hemostasis from environmental stress, bringing membrane proteins together, and stabilizing protein complexes.

We describe a protocol for preparation of supported lipid bilayers and its characterization using atomic force microscopy and force spectroscopy.

A Model Membrane Platform for Reconstituting Mitochondrial Membrane Dynamics

Mitochondrial dynamics is essential for the organelle&#8217;s diverse functions and cellular responses. The crowded, spatially complex, mitochondrial membrane is a challenging environment to distinguish regulatory factors. Experimental control of protein and lipid components can help answer specific questions of regulation. Yet, quantitative manipulation of these factors is challenging in cellular assays. To investigate the molecular mechanism of mitochondria inner-membrane fusion, we introduced an in vitro reconstitution platform that mimics the lipid environment of the mitochondrial inner-membrane. Here we describe detailed steps for preparing lipid bilayers and reconstituting mitochondrial membrane proteins. The platform allowed analysis of intermediates in mitochondrial inner-membrane fusion, and the kinetics for individual transitions, in a quantitative manner. This protocol describes the fabrication of bilayers with asymmetric lipid composition and describes general considerations for reconstituting transmembrane proteins into a cushioned bilayer. The method may be applied to study other membrane systems.

Mitochondrial fusion is an important homeostatic reaction underlying mitochondrial dynamics. Described here is an in vitro reconstitution system to study mitochondrial inner-membrane fusion that can resolve membrane tethering, docking, hemifusion, and pore opening. The versatility of this approach in exploring cell membrane systems is discussed.

Single Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy on Planar Supported Bilayers

In the course of a single decade single molecule microscopy has changed from being a secluded domain shared merely by physicists with a strong background in optics and laser physics to a discipline that is now enjoying vivid attention by life-scientists of all venues 1. This is because single molecule imaging has the unique potential to reveal protein behavior in situ in living cells and uncover cellular organization with unprecedented resolution below the diffraction limit of visible light 2. Glass-supported planar lipid bilayers (SLBs) are a powerful tool to bring cells otherwise growing in suspension in close enough proximity to the glass slide so that they can be readily imaged in noise-reduced Total Internal Reflection illumination mode 3,4. They are very useful to study the protein dynamics in plasma membrane-associated events as diverse as cell-cell contact formation, endocytosis, exocytosis and immune recognition. Simple procedures are presented how to generate highly mobile protein-functionalized SLBs in a reproducible manner, how to determine protein mobility within and how to measure protein densities with the use of single molecule detection. It is shown how to construct a cost-efficient single molecule microscopy system with TIRF illumination capabilities and how to operate it in the experiment.

Preparation of protein-functionalized planar glass-supported lipid bilayers, determination of protein mobility within and measurement of protein densities is shown here. A roadmap to building a noise-reduced Total Internal Reflection microscope is outlined, which allows visualizing single bilayer-resident fluorochromes with high spatiotemporal resolution.

Automated Lipid Bilayer Membrane Formation Using a Polydimethylsiloxane Thin Film

An artificial lipid bilayer, or black lipid membrane (BLM), is a powerful tool for studying ion channels and protein interactions, as well as for biosensor applications. However, conventional BLM formation techniques have several drawbacks and they often require specific expertise and laborious processes. In particular, conventional BLMs suffer from low formation success rates and inconsistent membrane formation time. Here, we demonstrate a storable and transportable BLM formation system with controlled thinning-out time and enhanced BLM formation rate by replacing conventionally used films (polytetrafluoroethylene, polyoxymethylene, polystyrene) to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). In this experiment, a porous-structured polymer such as PDMS thin film is used. In addition, as opposed to conventionally used solvents with low viscosity, the use of squalene permitted a controlled thinning-out time via slow solvent absorption by PDMS, prolonging membrane lifetime. In addition, by using a mixture of squalene and hexadecane, the freezing point of the lipid solution was increased (~16 &#176;C), in addition, membrane precursors were produced that can be indefinitely stored and readily transported. These membrane precursors have reduced BLM formation time of &#60; 1 hr and achieved a BLM formation rate of ~80%. Moreover, ion channel experiments with gramicidin A demonstrated the feasibility of the membrane system.

We demonstrate a storable, transportable lipid bilayer formation system. A lipid bilayer membrane can be formed within 1 hr with over 80% success rate when a frozen membrane precursor is brought to ambient temperature. This system will reduce laborious processes and expertise associated with ion channels.

Reconstitution of Septin Assembly at Membranes to Study Biophysical Properties and Functions

Most cells can sense and change their shape to carry out fundamental cell processes. In many eukaryotes, the septin cytoskeleton is an integral component in coordinating shape changes like cytokinesis, polarized growth, and migration. Septins are filament-forming proteins that assemble to form diverse higher-order structures and, in many cases, are found in different areas of the plasma membrane, most notably in regions of micron-scale positive curvature. Monitoring the process of septin assembly in vivo is hindered by the limitations of light microscopy in cells, as well as the complexity of interactions with both membranes and cytoskeletal elements, making it difficult to quantify septin dynamics in living systems. Fortunately, there has been substantial progress in the past decade in reconstituting the septin cytoskeleton in a cell-free system to dissect the mechanisms controlling septin assembly at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The core steps of septin assembly include septin heterooligomer association and dissociation with the membrane, polymerization into filaments, and the formation of higher-order structures through interactions between filaments. Here, we present three methods to observe septin assembly in different contexts: planar bilayers, spherical supports, and rod supports. These methods can be used to determine the biophysical parameters of septins at different stages of assembly: as single octamers binding the membrane, as filaments, and as assemblies of filaments. We use these parameters paired with measurements of curvature sampling and preferential adsorption to understand how curvature sensing operates at a variety of length and time scales.

Cell-free reconstitution has been a key tool to understand the cytoskeleton assembly, and work in the last decade has established approaches to study septin dynamics in minimal systems. Presented here are three complementary methods to observe septin assembly in different membrane contexts: planar bilayers, spherical supports, and rod supports.

Single-Molecule Diffusion and Assembly on Polymer-Crowded Lipid Membranes

Cellular membranes are highly crowded environments for biomolecular reactions and signaling. Yet, most in vitro experiments probing protein interaction with lipids employ naked bilayer membranes. Such systems lack the complexities of crowding by membrane-embedded proteins and glycans and exclude the associated volume effects encountered on cellular membrane surfaces. Also, the negatively charged glass surface onto which the lipid bilayers are formed prevents the free diffusion of transmembrane biomolecules. Here, we present a well-characterized polymer-lipid membrane as a mimic for crowded lipid membranes. This protocol utilizes polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated lipids as a generalized approach for incorporating crowders into the supported lipid bilayer&#160;(SLB). First, a cleaning procedure of the microscopic slides and coverslips for performing single-molecule experiments is presented. Next, methods for characterizing the PEG-SLBs and performing single-molecule experiments of the binding, diffusion, and assembly of biomolecules using single-molecule tracking and photobleaching are discussed. Finally, this protocol demonstrates how to monitor the nanopore assembly of bacterial pore-forming toxin Cytolysin A (ClyA) on crowded lipid membranes with single-molecule photobleaching analysis. MATLAB codes with example datasets are also included to perform some of the common analyses such as particle tracking, extracting diffusive behavior, and subunit counting.

Here, a protocol to perform and analyze the binding, mobility, and assembly of single molecules on artificial crowded lipid membranes using single-molecule total internal reflection fluorescence (smTIRF) microscopy is presented.

Assembly of Cell Mimicking Supported and Suspended Lipid Bilayer Models for the Study of Molecular Interactions

Model cell membranes are a useful screening tool with applications ranging from early drug discovery to toxicity studies. The cell membrane is a crucial protective barrier for all cell types, separating the internal cellular components from the extracellular environment. These membranes are composed largely of a lipid bilayer, which contains outer hydrophilic head groups and inner hydrophobic tail groups, along with various proteins and cholesterol. The composition and structure of the lipids themselves play a crucial role in regulating biological function, including interactions between cells and the cellular microenvironment, which may contain pharmaceuticals, biological toxins, and environmental toxicants. In this study, methods to formulate uni-lipid and multi-lipid supported and suspended cell mimicking lipid bilayers are described. Previously, uni-lipid phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid bilayers as well as multi-lipid placental trophoblast-inspired lipid bilayers were developed for use in understanding molecular interactions. Here, methods for achieving both types of bilayer models will be presented. For cell mimicking multi-lipid bilayers, the desired lipid composition is first determined via lipid extraction from primary cells or cell lines followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Using this composition, lipid vesicles are fabricated using a thin-film hydration and extrusion method and their hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential are characterized. Supported and suspended lipid bilayers can then be formed using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and on a porous membrane for use in a parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA), respectively. The representative results highlight the reproducibility and versatility of in vitro cell membrane lipid bilayer models. The methods presented can aid in rapid, facile assessment of the interaction mechanisms, such as permeation, adsorption, and embedment, of various molecules and macromolecules with a cell membrane, helping in the screening of drug candidates and prediction of potential cellular toxicity.

This protocol describes the formation of cell mimicking uni-lipid and multi-lipid vesicles, supported lipid bilayers, and suspended lipid bilayers. These in vitro models can be adapted to incorporate a variety of lipid types and can be used to investigate various molecule and macromolecule interactions.

Lipid Bilayer Experiments with Contact Bubble Bilayers for Patch-Clampers

Lipid bilayers provide a unique experimental platform for functional studies of ion channels, allowing the examination of channel-membrane interactions under various membrane lipid compositions. Among them, the droplet interface bilayer has gained popularity; however, the large membrane size hinders the recording of low electrical background noise. We have established a contact bubble bilayer (CBB) method that combines the benefits of planar lipid bilayer and patch-clamp methods, such as the ability to vary the lipid composition and to manipulate the bilayer mechanics, respectively. Using the setup for conventional patch-clamp experiments, CBB-based experiments can be readily performed. In brief, an electrolyte solution in a glass pipette is blown into an organic solvent phase (hexadecane), and the pipette pressure is maintained to obtain a stable bubble size. The bubble is spontaneously lined with a lipid monolayer (pure lipids or mixed lipids), which is provided from liposomes in the bubbles. Next, the two monolayer-lined bubbles (~50 &#181;m in diameter) at the tip of the glass pipettes are docked for bilayer formation. Introduction of channel-reconstituted liposomes into the bubble leads to the incorporation of channels in the bilayer, allowing for single-channel current recording with a signal-to-noise ratio comparable to that of patch-clamp recordings. CBBs with an asymmetric lipid composition are readily formed. The CBB is renewed repeatedly by blowing out the previous bubbles and forming new ones. Various chemical and physical perturbations (e.g., membrane perfusion and bilayer tension) can be imposed on the CBBs. Herein, we present the basic procedure for CBB formation.

Here, we present a protocol for the formation of lipid bilayers using a contact bubble bilayer method. A water bubble is blown into an organic solvent, whereby a monolayer is formed at the water-oil interface. Two pipettes are manipulated to dock the bubbles to form a bilayer.
