After all, bilayers are very small only in one dimension.

This response is known as the phase behavior of the bilayer.

This process can then be repeated to create several bilayers on the solid surface.

The term "painted" refers to the process by which these bilayers are made.

Second, the two bilayers must come into very close contact (within a few angstroms).

A model bilayer can be made with either synthetic or natural lipids.

They can be classified according to their relationship with the bilayer:

The flask was swirled and a bilayer allowed to form.

These are important components for the formation of lipid bilayers.

Such a result would not be observed unless water was able to pass through the bilayer with relative ease.

Two hydrated bilayers experience strong repulsion as they approach each other.

Lipid bilayers cannot be seen in a traditional microscope because they are too thin.

In order to see bilayers, researchers often use fluorescence microscopy.

One theory is that a highly curved "stalk" must form between the two bilayers.

The arrangement of cholesterol molecules in the bilayer is important for successful binding.

There are many different types of model bilayers, each having experimental advantages and disadvantages.

The lipid molecules have a specific space in between them, preventing the bilayer from any changes.

This can be used for instance to determine when two bilayers fuse and their components mix.

In biology a common example is the Lipid bilayer.

The double bilayer may be an adaptation to survive the host's immune response.

In cells, proteins are put in the bilayer by enzymes.

Because of this, only the upper face of the bilayer is exposed to free solution.

Vesicles made by model bilayers have also been used clinically to deliver drugs.

The lipid bilayer is very thin compared to its lateral dimensions.

It has two membranes, each a lipid bilayer with associated proteins.
