Abstract
The effects of adsorption of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) vesicles containing varying quantities of two charged lipids on the subsequent electrochemistry of the underlying self-assembled monolayers are discussed. An enhanced, ionic-charge-specific molecular discrimination of the electrochemical probes was observed. At a composition of 5% 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) (DMPG) in DMPC, the permeabilities of the probes were found to be affected significantly relative to that observed with pure DMPC layer. The results suggest that the assembly of secondary adsorbate layers of phospholipids provides an interesting method for modifying the electrochemical properties of thiolate self-assembled monolayers in gold.
