Internal layer structure a novel lipid/graphene biomembrane superstructure

DOI

Understanding the interactions between lipids and graphene promises to be effective towards measuring experimentally biochemical phenomena within lipid monolayers and bilayers. Our initial results show that the deposition of graphene on a lipid monolayer results in a more ordered and extended monolayer than regions without graphene. The lipid molecules change their conformation in presence of graphene on top, perhaps suggesting that the lipids follow the natural wavy conformation of graphene. Neutron reflectometry will help us understanding the molecular organization within the layered lipid/graphene and lipid/graphene/lipid hybrid monomolecular films and get further insights on how such graphene-stabilized lipid monolayers could be lifted from their supports without disrupting the lipid-lipid and graphene-lipid interactions.
