Oleic acid can self-assemble into GUVs that look very static, but are in fact fluid. a. A histogram of mean membrane fluorescence intensities (see Methods) normalized against vesicles with the lowest mean membrane intensity per pixel for oligolamellar samples (grey, n = 1391) shows multiple peaks, whereas samples that appear uniform only have a single peak (black, n = 20347). Scale bar represents 10 μm. b. Oleic acid GUVs appear very spherical (see Methods). Circles have a circularity of 1. c. FRAP experiments revealed that oleic acid membranes have rapid lateral diffusion. A large bleached area (diameter 54 μm) was used to minimize the effect of diffusion during photobleaching (see also Fig. S6).
