摘要

Over the past century, the scientific community has spent a great deal of effort trying to understand the cellular membrane bilayer on an intimate level. Langmuir deposition and vesicle fusion has provided a means to deposit membrane bilayers atop solid inorganic supports. These simple membranes remain fluid in nature due to a 10-30 A water cushion that rests between the membrane and the solid substrate. Although these mimetic templates are ideal for simple lipid membrane, placement of membrane proteins into these systems results in loss of membrane fluidity, and the proteins often become denatured. It has been suggested that portions of the embedded protein extend beyond the vertical length of the membrane and water cushion, and negatively interact with the inorganic support. Due to these substrate-protein interactions, polymeric cushions and tethers have been used to adjust the vertical distance between the membrane and solid support. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) amphiphiles were one of the first polymers used to remedy the substrate-protein interactions because of its hydrophilic and bioinert qualities. It was found that membranes tethered with PEG amphiphiles actually have up to three different motilities within a single system. There has been much speculation as to why these systems contain different motilities, but no real studies have been conducted to assess the issue. One focus of this dissertation was to study PEG-amphiphile/lipid interactions at the air-water interface. During the process of characterizing these binary mixtures, an interesting meta-stable domain changing phenomena was found to occur at low surface pressures within a narrow concentration regime in these mixtures. These serendipitous results will be described.;Due to the different mobile fractions within a single PEG cushioned/tethered membrane system, other polymers have been explored. In this work the development of pH responsive, hydrophilic, and cross-linked poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) based cushioned membrane bilayers are also depicted. The cellular membranes own cushion inspired the design of these cushions; the cytoskeleton, which is a netted network that is able to change shape, based on environmental changes. In addition Gramicidin A transmembrane protein was embedded into PAA cushioned membrane bilayers.
