磷脂膜弯曲刚性模量很难直接测量, 本实验用循环冻融法制备尺寸大小与膜弯曲刚性相关的熵稳定单层囊泡. 粒度仪测量发现, 囊泡尺寸随盐浓度增加呈现先剧烈减小然后缓慢增加的分段变化规律. 但当组分中含有头部带电同时尾链带有不饱和键的二油酰磷脂酰甘油酯时, 囊泡尺寸却在较大的盐浓度范围内不出现回升. 囊泡膜的负Zeta-电势绝对值均表现为先急剧减小然后趋于平稳的变化规律, 数值大小只与带电组分的含量有关. 而对直接水合法制备的多层囊泡的统计发现, 囊泡尺寸随盐浓度增加急剧减小, 随后趋于稳定值, 均不随分子组合变化而回升. 结果表明在不同的盐浓度范围里, 主导磷脂膜弯曲刚性模量的因素不同. 低盐浓度的体系, 静电屏蔽效应为主导因素; 高盐浓度的体系, 膜双电层中反离子的分布起主导作用. 磷脂分子头部与尾部的不同结构组合会影响膜双电层, 使膜的弯曲刚性不同. 多层囊泡体系中, 高盐浓度下膜的热涨落掩盖了分子结构及双电层分布差异对膜弯曲刚性的影响.

The mean bending modulus of bilayer is difficult to be measured directly in experiment but found relating to its bending rigidity. In this paper, the size of entropic stabilized vesicles, which were prepared by freeze-thaw cycle method, was investigated. It is observed that the diameters of these freeze-thaw vesicles decrease sharply and then gradually increase with salt concentration of hydration solution increasing. However, the sizes remain unchanging in the range of higher salt concentration when the charged component 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) (DOPG) is added in membranes. While the Zeta potential of membranes with various compositions presents the same trend of first rapid decreasing then to be steady. On the other hand, the size of multi-lamellar vesicles, prepared by hydration directly, keeps in a constant after quick decrease as salt concentration increasing. The results indicate that the electrostatic screening and properties of electrostatic double layer of the lipid bilayer are the dominant factor in low and high salt concentrations, respectively. The structure of lipid molecules and the membrane fluctuation of multi-lamellar vesicle would influence the properties of the electrostatic double layer in high salt concentration.
