Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) were used as models of cell membranes and were prepared using a procedure previously described [26 (link)]. First, by evaporation under a nitrogen flow, we prepared a film of 1 mM L-α-phosphatidylcholine (Soybean lecithin, from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After that, 20 µL of water was added to the film, and the resulted solution was kept at 45 °C for 45 min. Then, 3 mL of 0.1 M glucose solution was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. Finally, GUVs solution was centrifuged at 14,000× g for 30 min at 20 °C to remove lipid aggregates and multilamellar vesicles (pellet).

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.
