Figure 2

Illustration of a synthetic, supported lipid and glycolipid monolayer. The system consists of a silicon/silicon oxide substrate with covalently bound octadecyltrichlorosilane on top of which sits a fluid, lipid and glycolipid monolayer. The upper monolayer contains a small fraction (1%) of fluorescently labeled lipids that permit measurements of monolayer integrity and fluidity.
