Question

Which is the best method for producing phase-separated GUVs (at least 20 um in size)?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are used as model membrane systems whose sizes are very similar to cells

GUVs are used to study the function of highly complex bio-membranes with heterogeneous lipid composition, structure, mechanical and chemical properties.

To prepare GUVs with a complex lipid mixture one needs to mix in two heterogeneous populations of small unilamellar vesicles
