abstract = {It seems to be increasingly accepted that the diversity and
composition of lipids play an important role in the function
of biological membranes. A prime example of this is the case
of lipid rafts; regions enriched with certain types of
lipids which are speculated to be relevant to the proper
functioning of membrane embedded proteins. Although the
dynamics of membrane systems have been studied for decades,
the microscopic dynamics of lipid molecules, even in simple
model systems, is still an active topic of debate. Neutron
scattering has proven to be an important tool for accessing
the relevant nanometre length scale and nano to picosecond
time scales, thus providing complimentary information to
macroscopic techniques. Despite their potential relevance
for the development of functionalized surfaces and
biosensors, the study of single supported membranes using
neutron scattering poses the challenge of obtaining relevant
dynamic information from a sample with minimal material.
Using state of the art neutron instrumentation we were, for
the first time, able to model lipid diffusion in single
supported lipid bilayers. We find that the diffusion
coefficient for the single bilayer system is comparable to
the multi-lamellar lipid system. More importantly, the
molecular mechanism for lipid motion in the single bilayer
was found to be a continuous diffusion, rather than the
flow-like ballistic motion reported in the stacked membrane
system. We observed an enhanced diffusion at the nearest
neighbour distance of the lipid molecules. The enhancement
and change of character of the diffusion can most likely be
attributed to the effect the supporting substrate has on the
lipid organization.},
