Figure Lengend Snippet: a) GUVs of DOPC lipid doped with 1% Rhodamine PE (Red channel) incubated with Aβ-40 doped with Hylite-488 Aβ-40 (Green channel) and monitored temporally at 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours for changes in binding intensity. Tube profile was extracted at the 24-hour time point to visualize the deformations induced by Aβ-40 over time. b) Box plot showing weak to no binding of Aβ-40 to the DOPC GUV population observed at an early time point (1 hour), whereas, at later time points the binding increased and reached a plateau. c) Temporal monitoring of GUVs of DOPC/BSM/Chol lipid in the ratio 4:4:2 doped with 1% Rhodamine PE (Red channel) and incubated with Aβ-40 doped with Hylite-488 Aβ-40 (Green channel) at 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours for changes in binding intensity. The tube profile was extracted at the 24 hour time point to visualize the deformations induced by Aβ-40 over time. d) No binding was seen at the early time point (1 hour) for the DOPC/BSM/Chol (4:4:2) GUV population, with a steady rise in intensity at later time points. e) GUVs of DOPC/BSM/Chol/PIP 2 lipids in the ratio 2:4:3:1 doped with 1% Rhodamine PE (Red channel) incubated with Aβ-40 doped with Hylite-488 Aβ-40 (Green channel) and monitored temporally at 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours for changes in binding intensity. The tube profile was extracted at the 24-hour time point to visualize the deformations induced by Aβ-40 over time. f) Box Plot of the binding intensity of Aβ-40 to the GUV population of DOPC/BSM/Chol/PIP 2 (2:4:3:1) showing a strong early binding sustained till longer time points. g) Temporal monitoring of DOPC/BSM/Chol/DOPG (2:4:3:1) GUVs doped with 1% Rhodamine PE (Red channel) incubated with Aβ-40 doped with Hylite-488 Aβ-40 (Green channel) at 4 and 24 hours showed no binding at early and late time points. The number of GUVs screened at each time point for each condition in the box plots is n= 35 from three independent experiments. The symbols *, **, ***, **** indicate p values of ≤ 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, respectively, calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. The scale bar for confocal microscopy images is 10 μm.
