Previously we reported that recombinant histidine tagged OspC could be attached onto liposome surfaces by metallochelation.
Lipid concentrations of liposome suspensions were determined by phosphate analysis.
When imaging liposome attachment and coalescence to a clean surface, the slides were affixed to a magnetic disk and placed directly into the microscope.

The dimensions also suggest that the intact liposome as a sphere should have a diameter of several hundred nanometers.
The liposome structure can be useful for protecting sensitive molecules that are to be delivered orally.
