1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-chloride and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol

Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurements were conducted for a 98/2 mole ratio of 1,2-dielaidoylphosphocholine (DEPC) and 1,2-dimyristoylphosphoglycerol (DMPG) on silica, gold, and a self-assembled monolayer of 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (11MU) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11MUA) at 50 mol % each. This study demonstrates that vesicles composed of DEPC and DMPG at 98 and 2 mol %, respectively, formed a supported bilayer with unruptured vesicles present when adsorbed onto the self-assembled monolayer. Also, the partially formed supported bilayer apparently deadsorbed in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, suggesting that surface-bilayer interactions are weaker on a hydrophilic modified gold surface composed of 50/50 11MU/11MUA than the surface-bilayer interactions on silica.
