Neutron reflectometry profiles (symbols) and best fits (lines) for POPC SLBs formed via (a) calcium-mediated vesicle fusion, (b) solvent-assisted depletion in EtOH or (c) solvent-assisted depletion in IPA. (Top row) Methodology data, including measurements in D2O, SMW and H2O contrasts. (Bottom row) The corresponding SLD profiles for the best fits, revealing detailed bilayer architectures with characteristic head–tail–head organization. The different SLD values for the acyl tail region between VF SLBs and SALBs reflect the deuteration state differences in the lipids used: one tail deuterated in (d/h-) POPC for VF [data reproduced with permission from Åkesson et al. (2012View full citation), copyright (2012) RSC] and refitted versus h-POPC for SALBs. The temperature of SLB formation and characterization was 25°C.
