We have synthesized unique siloxane phosphocholines and characterized their aggregates in aqueous solution. The siloxane phosphocholines form nearly monodisperse vesicles in aqueous solution without the need for secondary extrusion processes. The area/lipid, lipid volume, and bilayer thickness were determined from small-angle X-ray scattering experiments. The impetus for the spontaneous formation of unilamellar vesicles by these compounds is discussed.
我们合成了独特的硅氧烷磷胆碱,并对其在水溶液中的聚集物进行了表征。硅氧烷磷胆碱在水溶液中形成几乎单分散的囊泡,而无需二次挤出过程。从小角度 X 射线散射实验中确定了面积/脂质、脂质体积和双层厚度。讨论了这些化合物自发形成单层囊泡的动力。
