The 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC: base lipid of the SLB, molecular weight (MW)= 786.1 g mol−1) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(cap biotinyl) (B-PE, MW= 1105.5 g mol−1) were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids Inc. Texas Red 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (TR-DHPE, MW = 1381.85 g mol−1) was purchased from Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA. Avidin variants (avidin, streptavidin, and neutrAvidin, MW= 68, 53, and 60 kDa each.) and various concentrations of PBS solutions were purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific. The SLB membrane consists of 95 mol% DOPC and 5% B-PE (receptor of avidin variants). For vesicle preparation, we used the rapid solvent exchange method to evaporate chloroform and hydrate with buffer solution (DIW or 1× PBS) simultaneously20 (link). After that, the prepared vesicle solutions were extruded 20 times through 50-nm-diameter pores (PC membrane, Avanti Polar Lipids Inc., USA) to prepare uniformly sized, small unilamellar vesicles (SUV; 0.1 mg mL−1). The 50-nm-diameter SUVs spontaneously rupture on a hydrophilic SiO2 surface and form a uniform and defect-free SLB patch on the SiO2 surface of the EG33 (link),34 (link). For negative controls for biotin–avidin binding, Cholera toxin subunit B proteins (CTxB, Invitrogen, USA, MW= 12 kDa) specifically bound to ganglioside GM1 lipids were used.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
