Abstract
A semisynthetic vesicular membrane was constructed by immobilization of a synthetic polyelectrolyte [poly(2-ethylacrylic acid)] on the surface of a phosphatidylcholine bilayer. Immobilization was accomplished via Michael addition of polymer-bound thiol functions to a reactive maleimide handle incorporated into the lipid membrane in the form of dimyristoyl-N-[ [4-(maleimidomethyl)cyclohexyl]carbonyl]phosphatidylethanolamine. Semisynthetic membranes prepared in this way are sensitive to hydrogen ion concentration and are subject to large variations in permeability with small changes in pH. Rapid and quantitative release of vesicle contents can be achieved by mild acidification within the physiological pH range.
