We achieved tubulation of self-assembled lipid membranes, liposomes, via the interaction of supramolecular nanofibers, porphyrin J-aggregates. This structural change was reversible, and the deformation of the porphyrin J-aggregates caused reconstruction of the liposomes from the tubes. We discussed the tubulation mechanism and calculated the force provided by porphyrin J-aggregates for tubulation.
通过超分子纳米纤维卟啉J聚集体的相互作用,我们实现了自组装脂质膜(脂质体)的微管化。这种结构变化是可逆的,卟啉J聚集体的变形导致脂质体从微管中重新形成。我们讨论了微管化机制,并计算了卟啉J聚集体为微管化提供的力。
