内容記述 |
An artificial lipid bilayer in planar form, well known as bilayer lipid membrane (BLM), spontaneously forms from a lipid droplet (L-α-phosphatidylcholine in n-decane and chloroform in this work) in an aperture of a thin partition in aqueous solution. The thinning dynamics of the lipid droplet or membrane has been studied by simultaneous capacitance and image recording, because the lipid membrane sandwiched by aqueous solutions can be considered as a parallel-plate capacitor. The simultaneous measurements have revealed the two-step thinning of the lipid membrane from its specific capacitance value: first, the initial droplet thins to yield a membrane of about 100 nm thickness (0.02 μF/cm2), and second, within this thin lipid membrane, a lipid bilayer of 4 nm thickness (0.42 μF/cm2) suddenly emerges and grows, keeping a bilayer structure. In addition, the simultaneous measurements have a time stamp, and thus can determine the trigger moment of the bilayer formation. The revealed dynamics provides the first quantitative support for a “zipper” mechanism [H. T. Tien and E. A. Dawidowicz, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 22, 438 (1966)]; in the mechanism, the first thinning results in a sandwich consisting of the organic solvent between two adsorbed lipid monolayers whose distance is the order of 100 nm, and then a chance contact of both monolayers initiates the formation and growth of a lipid bilayer in a zipper-like manner. However, because of the existence of the two solvent–water interfaces containing surface-active molecules, phospholipids, this work claims that the zipper mechanism should be modified in view of the Marangoni effect. The simultaneous measurements have also revealed the adjacency effect, namely, that only the prebilayer region just adjacent to the bilayer changes into a bilayer. The present formation and growth of a lipid bilayer, including the adjacency effect, can be explained by the classic nucleation theory of two-dimensional crystallization. BLM systems with the simultaneous measurements can be considered as a useful environment for the study of soft-matter chemical physics. |
