| Abstract | Microarray technology has facilitated many powerful high-throughput studies in the fields of genetics and proteomics, among others. However, preparation of microarrays composed of cell-derived membranes with embedded receptors has proven difficult. Here we describe a new method for forming microarrays composed of synthetic lipid vesicles and natural cell membranes. The method is based upon assembly of vesicles and natural membranes into recessed micro- and nanowells and using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) block as a “squeegee.” This method is used to assemble phospholipid vesicles into arrays with micron and nanoscale dimensions. Native myelin and neuronal lipid raft arrays are also formed in 30 minutes or less. We show the natural membrane arrays can be used for sensing lipid-protein interactions by detecting cholera toxin binding to ganglioside GM1 in neuronal lipid rafts. In multicomponent arrays myelin can be distinguished from neuronal rafts by antibody binding to cell-specific surface antigens. Finally, myelin arrays formed in gold nanowells are used for surface plasmon resonance sensing. This assembly approach is simple, broadly applicable and opens up new avenues of research not easily accomplished with standard microarray technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
