Abstract

Planar supported lipid bilayers (PSLBs) are an ideal model for the study of lipid membrane structures and dynamics when using sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS). In this paper, we describe the construction of asymmetric PSLBs and the basic SFVS theory needed to understand and make measurements on these membranes. Several examples are presented, including the determination of phospholipid orientation and measuring phospholipid transmembrane translocation (flip-flop).
