Cholesterol-Induced Buckling in Physisorbed Polymer-Tethered Lipid Monolayers

Cholesterol-Induced Buckling in Physisorbed Polymer-Tethered Lipid Monolayers

The influence of cholesterol concentration on the formation of buckling structures is studied in a physisorbed polymer-tethered lipid monolayer system using epifluorescence microscopy (EPI) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The monolayer system, built using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, con...
