摘要
Simple lipid binary systems are intensively used to understand the formation of domains in biological membranes. The size of individual domains present in the gel/fluid coexistence region of single supported bilayers, determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM), generally exceeds by two to three orders of magnitude that estimated from multibilayers membranes by indirect spectroscopic methods. In this article, the topography of equimolar dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC) multibilayers, made of two superimposed bilayers supported on mica surface, was studied by AFM in a temperature range from room temperature to 45degreesC. In the gel/fluid phase coexistence region the size of domains, between similar to100 nm and a few micrometers, was of the same order for the first bilayer facing the mica and the top bilayer facing the buffer. The gel to fluid phase separation temperature of the first bilayer, however, could be increased by up to 8degreesC, most likely as a function of the buffer layer thickness that separated it from the mica. Topography of the top bilayer revealed the presence of lipids in ripple phase up to 38-40degreesC. Above this temperature, a pattern characteristic of the coexistence of fluid and gel domains was observed. These data show that difference in the size of lipid domains given by AFM and spectroscopy can hardly be attributed to the use of multibilayers models in spectroscopy experiments. They also provide a direct evidence for metastable ripple phase transformation into a gel/fluid phase separated structure upon heating.
