Microbubbles decorated with dendronized magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical imaging: effective stabilization via fluorous interactions by Da Shi, Justine Wallyn, Dinh-Vu Nguyen, Francis Perton, Delphine Felder-Flesch, Sylvie Bégin-Colin, Mounir Maaloum, Marie Pierre Krafft

“…An atomic force microscopy investigation of spin-coated mixed films of DPPC/IONP@C2X5OEG8Den combinations (molar ratio 28:1) shows that the IONPs grafted with the fluorinated dendrons are located within the phospholipid film, while those grafted with the hydrocarbon dendrons are located at the surface of the phospholipid film.…”

Interactions of pulmonary surfactant protein SP-A with monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol: roles of SP-A domains by Shou-Hwa Yu, Francis X. McCormack, Dennis R. Voelker, Fred Possmayer

“…All SP-As reduced collapse surface tension of a pure cholesterol film from 27 to 23 mN/m in the presence of Ca2+. When mixed films were formed by successive spreading of DPPC/SP-A/cholesterol, rat SP-A, SP-Ahyp, or SP-AΔG8-P80 blocked the interaction of cholesterol with DPPC; SP-Ahyp,E195Q,R197D could not impede the interaction; SP-Ahyp,C6S or SP-Ahyp,ΔN1-A7 only partially blocked the interaction, and cholesterol appeared to stabilize SP-Ahyp,C6S–DPPC association. …”

Hydrophobic interactions in proteins by Louis, C

“…The alcohol and protein probably form a mixed film at the interface. The volume of decane solution at this maximum is called the "volume at the dip".…”
