Liposome-amino acid conjugates were prepared using phopholipid (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or distearoylph-osphatidylcholine(DSPC)) and hydrophobically modified amino acids (glutamic acid(glu), glutamine(gln) or asparagine(asn)). The size of liposomes was about 100 nm. According to the glucose-induced turbidity changes, liposomes composed of DPPC and glutamic acid have higher glucose binding affinity than liposomes of DPPC-glutamine or DPPC-asparagine. Also, the liposomes were more stable in terms of aggregation or fusion than the others (DPPC-glutamine, DPPC-asparagine and DSPC-amino acids). As a rdsult, stable liposomes with an affinity for glucose could be prepared with DPPC and glutamic acid.
