Only five major types of sensory photoreceptors (BLUF-proteins, cryptochromes,
phototropins, phytochromes, and rhodopsins) are used in nature to regulate developmental …

Biological membranes constitute the set of membranes defining boundaries and organelles
in living cells—the structural and functional building blocks of all known living organisms …

Supported planar lipid bilayers based on alkanethiol-tethering chemistry are becoming
increasingly important biomimetic materials. Hybrid bilayers containing thiol-derivatized …

Using novel synthetic lipids, a tethered bilayer membrane (tBLM) was formed onto a gold
electrode such that a well-defined ionic reservoir exists between the gold surface and the …

One topic of this study is the comparison of different preparation techniques to build up solid
supported lipid bilayers onto gold substrates. The deposited lipid bilayers were investigated …

The absorption and spreading behavior of lipid vesicles composed of either
palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) or Escherichia coli lipid upon contact with a …

Adsorption of a monolayer of dimyristoyl-l-α-phosphatidylcholine from dispersions of small
unilamellar vesicles onto hydrophobic surfaces was investigated by means of a combined …

Functional characterization of transport proteins using conventional electrophysiology can
be challenging, especially for low turnover transporters or transporters from bacteria and …

Some aspects of bioelectrochemistry at metal∣ water interfaces which may provide useful
information on the role played by biomolecules in biological processes are overviewed and …

The lysosomal cation channel TMEM175 is a Parkinson's disease-related protein and a
promising drug target. Unlike whole-cell automated patch-clamp (APC), lysosomal patch …
