A) Schematic of supported lipid bilayer formation from small liposomes, and polymer incorporation in a supported lipid bilayers. B) Fluorescence images of 18 incorporated into a supported lipid bilayer. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) demonstrates the fluidity of the membrane-anchored mucin mimics. Left: fluorophores conjugated to the polymer were bleached in the central zone. Right: after 350 seconds, bleached and unbleached molecules have diffused, leading to recovery of the dark zone's fluorescence. Analysis revealed a diffusion coefficient identical to that of the membrane lipids.
