Hybrid bilayer membrane (HBM) platforms represent an emerging nanoscale bio-inspired
interface that has broad implications in energy catalysis and smart molecular devices. An …

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a technique that can be used to directly observe
individual biomolecules at near-molecular scale. Within this framework, STM is of crucial …

This article describes efforts to build a model biological membrane at a surface of a gold
electrode. In this architecture, the membrane may be exposed to static electric fields on the …

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) was employed to study
structure of water in a phospholipid bilayer deposited at a gold electrode surface. The …

The surface of a gold electrode was functionalized with a hydrophilic monolayer of 1-thio-β-d-
glucose formed by spontaneous self-assembly. The Langmuir–Blodgett/Langmuir–Schaefer …

Planar solid-supported lipid bilayers have been developed as simplified biological
membranes to model the physical properties of cell membrane processes. Lipid bilayer …

This short review describes our efforts to apply scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic
force microscopy to provide an understanding of the mechanism of phospholipid bilayer …

Since cell membranes are complex systems, the use of model lipid bilayers is quite
important for the study of their interactions with bioactive molecules. Mammalian cell …

In nature, many enzymes are attached or inserted into the cell membrane, having
hydrophobic subunits or lipid chains for this purpose. Their reconstitution on electrodes …

Lipid bilayers form the basis of biological cell membranes, selective and responsive barriers
vital to the function of the cell. The structure and function of the bilayer are controlled by …
