Liposomal sorting onto substrate through ion recognition by gemini peptide lipids
Selective liposomal assembling in aqueous solution was achieved by ion-recognizable gemini peptide lipids as an inducer. The methodology was extended to liposomal sorting on a substrate covered with a supported bilayer membrane, which was confirmed by means of fluorescence and atomic force microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and quarts crystal microbalance measurements.
