Differential capacity, chronocoulometry and Polarization Modulation Fourier Transform Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (PM FTIRRAS) were employed to investigate spreading of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) of DOPC and DMPC onto a Au(111) electrode surface. The electrochemical experiments demonstrated that vesicles fuse onto the electrode surface and at E>-0.5V (SSCE) or at charge densities -10-0.5 V (SSCE), the tilt angle increases to approximately 42 degrees. The increase of the tilt angle is discussed in terms of a change in the packing of the polar head of the phospholipids molecules in the bilayer adsorbed at the electrode surface. |
