Fluid Mosaic Model01:19

Fluid Mosaic Model

18.9K
Scientists identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s and its principal chemical components (lipids and proteins) by 1915. The model for plasma membrane structure, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli, was the first model to be widely accepted in the scientific community. The model was based on the plasma membrane's "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs. Davson and Danielli theorized that the plasma membrane's structure resembled a sandwich...

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer01:35

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer

10.6K
Biological membranes show uneven distribution of different types of lipids in the inner and outer layers, resulting in transverse asymmetric membranes. The treatment of the erythrocyte membrane with the enzyme phospholipase confirmed the asymmetric nature of the lipid bilayer. The enzyme hydrolyzes lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. The phospholipase acts only on the outer layer of the membrane, while the inner layer remains intact. The phospholipase treatment resulted in 80%...

  • Fabrication of MXene membranes on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrates via vacuum filtration.
  • Assessment of water permeance and rejection rates for molecules > 2.5 nm.

Main Results:

  • MXene membranes exhibited high water permeance (>1000 L m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹).
  • Achieved favorable rejection rates (>90%) for molecules larger than 2.5 nm.
  • Demonstrated significantly higher water permeance compared to existing membranes with similar rejection capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MXene membrane shows excellent performance for water purification, combining high flux and effective rejection.
