Real-time nanoplasmonic sensing of three-dimensional morphological changes in a supported lipid bilayer and antimicrobial testing applications by Yoon, Bo Kyeong, Park, Hyeonjin, Zhdanov, Vladimir P., Jackman, Joshua A., Cho, Nam-Joon

“…To validate this concept, we tested the addition of antimicrobial fatty acids, monoglycerides, and surfactants in micellar form to the SLB platform, which triggered specific three-dimensional membrane morphological changes such as tubule or bud formation along with solubilization. Experimentally, the different remodeling events were detected by distinct measurement signatures related to the shape and size of lipid protrusions that formed and evolved over time, which agreed well with a newly developed theoretical model. …”
