Preparation of giant vesicles by external AC electric fields. Kinetics and applications
Abstract
We suggest a method for preparation of large (∼ 15 ÷ 70 μm in diameter), unilamellar, fluctuating, isolated vesicles, allowing us to perform routine measurements of membrane bending elasticity modulus k c by image analysis of thermal fluctuations. The method is based on the effects of AC electric fields on the lipid swelling and liposome formation. We have observed a monotonous decrease of k c for egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) vesicles from (0.66 ± 0.06) · 10−19 J for 1 day to (0.45 ± 0.05) · 10−19 J for 13 days after vesicle formation. The lipid mixture Chol/PC 37:63 mol/mol led to k c = (1.06 ± 0.15) · 10−19 J, and PE/PC 25:75 mol/mol — to (0.72 ± 0.06) · 10−19 J. — The mechanism of vesicle formation is discussed. It proved that the basic phenomenon is sequences of lateral fusions of smaller vesicles induced by the applied AC electric field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
