AIR-STABLE SUPPORTED LIPID BILAYER MEMBRANES

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for fabricating air-stable supported lipid bilayer membranes. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to methods of producing supported lipid bilayer membranes stabilized by sterol groups that are covalently tethered to a solid surface. In a further embodiment, the present invention relates to air-stable supported lipid bilayer membranes produced by the methods of the present invention.
