abstract = {We studied biomembrane fluctuations by calculating the
instantaneous shape of model membranes adhered to
micro-patterned substrates, using micro-interferometry. The
model consisted of partially adherent giant unilamellar
vesicles (GUVs) which were osmotically deflated. Adhesion
was effected via the specific ligand-receptor interaction of
biotin-neutravidin. Special micro-structured adhesive
substrates were developed where the receptors were
distributed in the form of grids or lines. Dual-wavelength
reflection interference contrast microscopy (DW-RICM)
measurements revealed that on the structured adhesive
substrates GUVs exhibit regions of bound and fluctuating
membrane, in accordance with the underlying pattern. In the
fluctuating zone, the membrane presented itself as a
flat-topped hill for an initial osmotic difference of 70
mOsm l(-1). The membrane-substrate distance saturated at a
plateau of 79 +/- 9 nm. In this plateau, the fluctuation
amplitude was found to be 10 +/- 3 nm. Variation of the
shape (grid versus lines) or size (grids of 3.5 or 7 mu m
lattice constant) influenced neither the height nor the
fluctuation amplitude in the plateau. Fourier analysis
revealed that the mode corresponding to a wavelength of
twice the pattern size always contributed, and, depending on
the substrate, additional modes were sometimes present. The
plateau height could be tuned from 0 to 538 nm by changing
the initial osmotic gradient between the inside and outside
of the GUV, which effectively tuned the membrane tension.
The corresponding fluctuation amplitude ranged from
non-detectable to a maximum of 17 nm. Our results can be
interpreted in the light of a tension dependent effective
interaction potential.},
