Structure of phospholipid monolayers containing lipid-PEG-ligand

DOI

The incorporation of lipid-PEG-ligand molecules into liposome membrane imparts targeting ability and specificity to liposomes. Crucial for the targeting ability is the accessibility of the ligand for the cell receptors. However, the surface of the liposome membrane is covered by PEG (polyethylene glycol) layer that shields the ligands and inhibits targeting. Modifying the liposome membrane with bidisperse PEG layer results in distribution of the ligands in the periphery of the liposome and thus enhanced targeting. Here we would like to examine the structure of model liposome membranes with bidisperse PEG layer regarding the distribution of the ligands.
