Theoretical Study on the Detection of Tilted Lipid Bilayers Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Techniques

Effective refractive indices detected using surface plasmon resonance techniques are calculated as a function of the tilt angle of lipid bilayers in a multilayered model. The changes in the effective refractive indices are derived from the shift of an excitation angle of surface plasmon. To obtain e...
