Abstract

A mixture of sodium 1, 2-di (hexadecyloxycarbonyl) ethanesulfonate (2C16S) with photopolymerizable 1, 2-di (10, 12-tricosadiynoyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphocholine (DTPC) in a 2: 100 ratio was treated by modified thin-film hydration to give an aggregate which became polymerized giant vesicles (GVs) under irradiation at 254 nm. The autofluorescence of the GVs was analyzed with a confocal laser scanning microscope at the cross section, ...
