<p>The present invention provides linker lipids for use in attaching a membrane including a plurality of ionophores to an electrode and providing a space between the membrane and the electrode. The membrane is either in part or totally made up of the linker lipid. The linker lipid comprises within the same molecule a hydrophobic region capable of spanning at least half the membrane, an attachment group used to attach the molecule to an electrode surface, a hydrophilic region intermediate said hydrophobic region and the attachment group, and a polar head group region attached to the hydrophobic region at a site remote from the hydrophilic region wherein said attachment group has a cross-sectional area that is at least two times the cross-sectional area of the hydrophilic region.</p> |
