摘要
Cell membranes show complex behavior, in part because of the large number of different components that interact with each other in different ways. One aspect of this complex behavior is lateral organization of components on a range of spatial scales. We found that lipid-only mixtures can model the range of size scales, from approximately 2 nm up to microns. Furthermore, the size of compositional heterogeneities can be controlled entirely by lipid composition for mixtures such as 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC)/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC)/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(POPC)/cholesterol or sphingomyelin (SM)/DOPC/POPC/cholesterol. In one region of special interest, because of its connection to cell membrane rafts, nanometer-scale domains of liquid-disordered phase and liquid-ordered phase coexist over a wide range of compositions.
