(ammonium salt)] were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster,
AL). Texas Red DHPE (Texas Red 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, triethylammonium salt) was purchased
from Thermo Fisher Scientific UK. Vesicles were prepared as described
previously.25 (link) Each lipid was dissolved
into an individual 5 mM CHCl3 stock solution, mixed in
the desired composition, dried under nitrogen, and vacuum-desiccated
overnight. The dry film was hydrated in ultrapure water (Milli-Q)
to 1 mg/mL, vortexed for 30 min, heated in an oven at 50 °C for
30 min, and then tip-sonicated for 30 min at 4 °C to form small
unilamellar vesicles (SUVs). The SUV sample was centrifuged at 3000
rpm for 3 min to remove metal sonicator tip sediment from the SUVs.
