Title

Nanoscale Ripples In Self-Assembled Lipid Tubules

Abstract

Self-assembled cylindrical tubules of 1,2-bis(tricosa-10,12-diynoyl)-.sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine (DC 8,9PC) have been studied by atomic force microscopy in both the height and amplitude modes. Nanoscale ripple structures in the cylindrical lipid tubules are clearly resolved in amplitude mode images. The periodicity of the ripples is found to be 200 ± 30 nm for tubules with diameters in the range from 200 to 650 nm. The angle of the ripples with respect to the equator of the tubules shows a bimodal distribution with centers at ∼28° and ∼5°. © 2006 American Chemical Society.
