18. Whereas L-DLPC within vesicles is fluid and mobile at room temperature and thus readily transfers to form monolayers at hydrophobic interfaces, D-DPPC does not. By using fluorescence microscopy, we confirmed that the area[density of D-DPPC transferred to the aqueous-LC interface from vesicles was only ∼70% of that observed for L-DLPC. However, by using mixed micelles formed from DTAB and D-DPPC, we demonstrated that it was possible to prepare LC interfaces laden with D-DPPC with area[densities similar to the L-DLPC interfaces prepared from vesicles (33). D-DPPC transferred under these conditions also caused a perpendicular orientation of the LC at the aqueous-LC interface, thus establishing a general procedure for assembling lipids at the surface of LCs.

20. 2/s (21), consistent with measurements of the diffusivities of lipids at a variety of interfaces, including biological membranes (17). Fluorescence imaging also revealed compartmentalization of the lipid between grid squares, which we have exploited to form patterned arrays of lipids at these interfaces (stability > 1 week).
