1 Optical and Electrical Characterization of Lipid Bilayers on Various Substrates Shepard Group BioIGERT RPU Ashley Nagel, Columbia University Sijun Yang, Cornell University

2 Contents What is a lipid bilayer? How is it formed? How are they characterized? What substrates are used? What additional experiments are done? What are the project s future directions & eventual applications?

3 Lipid Bilayers What is a lipid bilayer? A lipid consists of a hydrophilic phosphate group head, and a hydrophobic fatty acid tail.

4 Lipid Bilayers Hydrophobic tails stick together to form liposomes, micelles, and bilayers (energetically favorable) Lipid bilayers are what compose our cell membranes. Bilayers can be formed artificially as well.

5 Lipid Bilayers Supported Lipid Bilayers Supported lipid bilayers are formed by collapsing liposomes onto a hydrophilic substrate Process is spontaneous

6 Lipid Bilayers Transmembrane Proteins One of many functions of proteins is to transport molecules and ions across the cell membrane ATPase and Gramicidin are used in this project ATP is used by ATPase in active transport of ions against concentration gradient

7 Techniques

8 Techniques Why Different Substrates? Glass is standard, but non-conductive. Bottom electrode is necessary to allow for electrical measurements. Lipids Used: 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) 1% Fluorescent lipids used for imaging experiments Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) 488nm wavelength excitation, 530nm emission Lipids provided by Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc.

9 Techniques Procedure Cleaning Reconstitution Extruding Formation Rinsing

10 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)

11 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Line Profiles (saline-washed glass) Exponentially smoothed, un-normalized Intensity Position Un-smoothed, un-normalized Smoothed, Normalized Intensity Intensity Position Position

12 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Line Profiles: Good vs Bad Good Bilayer Recovery Diffusion is Gaussian Slope of normalized line profile decreases Bad Bilayer Recovery Bleaching resembles diffusion recovery Slope of line profile remains constant

13 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Diffusion Coefficient Axelrod & Soumpasis Method: Kapitza Method: Expected Diffusion Coefficients for Glass: 0.1 to 10 um^2/sec

14 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Intensity Intensity Difference Matlab Plotted Intensity Profiles (saline-washed glass) Time (s) Diffusion (Axelrod) coefficients: Avg: Time (s) Diffusion (Kapitza) coefficients: Avg: 28.05

15 Techniques Optical Characterizations: Diffusion Coefficient - Matlab code provided by Professor Lance Kam Uses the line profiles to measure rate of diffusion in both X and Y directions through use of Fast Fourier Transform Gave much smaller but inconsistent values Diffusion coefficient seemed too dependent on time Time (s) D

16 Techniques Electrical Characterizations: Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) Potential sweep gives qualitative information about redox reactions Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Bode Plot: Phase angle and Magnitude log(freq/hz) Phase Angle log(impedance/ohms) Data fitted circuit models of bilayer and substrate 90 0 log(freq/hz)

17 Techniques Electrical Characterizations: EIS: Good vs Bad Well-formed Bilayer Badly-formed Bilayer

18 Substrates Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) Transparent conductor coated on glass Shown in literature to support bilayers

19 Substrates Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) Optical Characterization Intensity Line profile shows improper bilayer recovery Position FRAP Line Profile

20 Substrates Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) Electrical Characterization Supports FRAP evidence of unstable bilayer formation

21 Substrates PEDOT-PSS Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) Transparent polymer Conductor Applied by spin coating

22 Substrates PEDOT-PSS Optical Characterization Intensity Line profile suggests improper bilayer formation Position FRAP Line Profile

23 Substrates PEDOT-PSS Electrical Characterization Supports FRAP evidence of unstable bilayer formation Data does not conform to expectations

24 Substrates Nano-Fabricated Patterned Substrate SiO2 Electrode/Silicon AFM image of bilayer over patterned substrate

25 Substrates Nano-Fabricated Patterned Substrate Optical Characterization Intensity Line profile shows clear diffusive recovery Position FRAP Line Profile

26 Substrates Nano-Fabricated Patterned Substrate Electrical Characterization EIS supports promising bilayer formation

27 Substrates Tethered Bilayer (Hydrophobic Substrate) Constructed by adsorbing a functional group to the surface of an otherwise non-hydrophilic substrate

28 Substrates Tethered Bilayer: Gold Gold slide treatments allow for the formation of a SelfAssembled Monolayer (SAM) Changes the surface chemistry of the substrate to allow for self-assembly of lipid bilayers Cysteamine(2-aminoethanethiol) Silane((3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane)

29 Substrates Gold: Thiol Solution Optical Characterization Line profile shows inconclusive recovery Some bilayers are stable: maybe promising Intensity Position FRAP Line Profile

30 Substrates Gold: Thiol Solution Electrical Characterization Results are preliminary

31 Substrates Gold: Stamping with Cysteamine, Silane or Ethanol Control Soak PDMS stamp in SAM solution Dry and lightly press onto gold slide

32 Substrates Gold: Stamping with Cysteamine, Silane or Ethanol Control Bilayer forms in stamped regions

33 Vertical Bilayer Forming a Vertical Bilayer: Separate two saline solution chambers with thin Teflon Poke hole through Teflon Fill chambers with lipids Change solution level of chambers on both side such that lipids zip across the hole in Teflon, forming a lipid bilayer Disadvantage: bilayers last about 6hrs at longest

34 Vertical Bilayer Vertical Bilayers: Electrical Characterization Blue: Teflon Brown: Teflon with holes Red: Bilayer over hole

35 Future Steps Further characterization of substrates with actual membrane protein Consistent diffusion coefficient analysis Electrical settings optimization Perfection of tethering/lipid bilayer formation procedures AFM images of bilayers with proteins and of the bilayer on all the substrates Eventual biobattery/ biosensor using lipid bilayer research and transmembrane proteins
