1. Surface tension, γ, is the force per unit area exerted on the 2D interface between two coexisting phases in three dimensions. Similarly, line tension is the force per unit length exerted on the 1D interface between two coexisting phases in two dimensions. Surface pressure, π, is the difference between the γ of pure water (72 mN/m) and the measured γ with the monolayer present. The collapse pressure of a monolayer is the highest π or lowest γ attainable before the film collapses or ejects material into a bulk phase.

15. 1-25 were synthesized and analyzed as described in (10), except that, for the human 78-residue protein SP-B, we used an ABl 431A peptide synthesizer (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA) applying FastMoc chemistry (11). Amino acid residues 26 to 59 of SP-B were double-coupled; all other residues were single-coupled. After cleavage from the resin, we purified the peptide by reverse-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a Vydac C4 column (Vydac, Hesperia, CA), using a water-acetonitrile gradient containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The formation of disulfide bonds was facilitated with the use of EKATHIOX resin (Ekagen, Palo Alto, CA). Oxidatbn with EKATHIOX resin was carried out by addition of a 1 mM peptide solution of trifluoroethanol:water (8:2 v/v) to a 10-fold molar excess of the resin-active group to peptide thiol. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 6 hours before the peptide in solution was separated from the resin by centrifugation (1000g, 10 min). The monomeric oxidized state was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorptiontime of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy. The conformation of SP-B in the PA multilayer was largely helical as determined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements.

28. The triple point denotes the location in the phase diagram where the 2D equivalents of the solid (liquid-condensed), liquid (liquid-expanded), and gaseous phases coexist at equilibrium. The triple-point temperature of PA on a Milli-Q water subphase is 24.8°C; the triple-point temperature of PA on a buffered saline subphase is lower. Below the triple point, the gaseous phase transforms into the liquid-condensed phase without going through the liquid-expanded phase. Above the triple point, the liquid-condensed and liquid-expanded phases coexist.
29. 2 per molecule per second while the surface pressure, area, and the morphology of the film were continuously monitored. The compression speed was held constant within each set of measurements for quantitative comparisons.
30. The fluorescent dye molecules preferentially partition into the less ordered phase (the more condensed or better ordered phase has tighter packing and excludes the dye). This behavior results in the assignment of the brighter liquid-expanded phase and the darker liquid-condensed phase observed in fluorescence microscopy NBD-HDA quenches when it is in contact with the subphase, rendering the gaseous phase black.
31. 1 25 was increased. Collapse pressures were lower than those observed on a buffered saline subphase; the highest collapse pressure achieved was 54 mN/m. A similar weight fraction of the SP-B produced a similar rise in the collapse pressure. The full-length protein, which is less water-soluble, appears to be better retained in the monolayer than the shorter peptide.

The nucleation sites for heterogeneous nucleation in three dimensions are typically dust or other materials that provide a good surface for the condensation of the solid phase. In 2D films, the identity of the nuclei is less clear.

42. 1 25 with linkages at cysteine residues 8 and 11 by slowly adding a fivefold excess of fluorescein-5-maleamide (Molecular Probe) in dimethylformamide to the peptide in 100 mM to 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.5), The mixture was bath-sonicated for 5 min and vortexed immediately for 1 hour at 25°C. The reaction was then quenched with a twofold excess of cysteine, and the reaction mixture was dialyzed against distilled water overnight. The peptide was then freeze-dried and purified by reversed-phase HPLC.
