Abstract

Structural and dynamic properties of membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) on layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte coated particles were investigated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and fluorescence methods. These spherically supported membranes showed structural, dynamic, and elastic properties similar to free-standing membranes as proved by 31P and 2H NMR. Small differences between behaviour of PC and PS on LbL support due to interaction with the polyelectrolyte were observed. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) using 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol (NBD) labeled PC and PS showed a stronger impact of the outermost polyelectrolyte (PAH) on the fluorescence lifetimes of NBD-PS compared to NBD-PC. Although small defects in nm range allowing passage of Mn2+ to both layers of the membrane coat were present, a rather homogeneous coating observed by fluorescence microscopy, complete fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and NMR results reveal that somewhat continuous lipid bilayers were formed around the LbL particles
