The cell membrane, formed by the self-organization of phospholipids and various
biomacromolecules, is a biocomplex with the thickness of 5− 10 nm. 1− 3 Proteins bind lipid …

Biological membranes provide a physical boundary that separates the inside and outside of
a cell or organelle. They also mediate signal transduction and transport of various molecules …

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 …

Biosensors that make use of transport processes across lipid membranes are very rare even
though a stimulus, the binding of a single analyte molecule, can enhance the sensor …

Research in the life sciences from a holistic perspective demonstrates biological events are
quite complex, and require understanding on the nanoscale level. Such an understanding of …

Receptors on the membrane can recognize and bind extracellular molecules and convert
that event into signals that elicit molecular changes within the cell. These two properties …

Membrane channel proteins play crucial roles in governing the transport of material and
energy across every cellular membrane. Accordingly, they are the subjects of interest for …

Cell membrane composed of lipid bilayer is a selectively permeable membrane that only
allows specific molecules to pass through. While such selectivity is essential for the survival …

Conspectus Biomembranes are ubiquitous lipid structures that delimit the cell surface and
organelles and operate as platforms for a multitude of biomolecular processes. The …

We have established a robust and versatile analytical platform for probing membrane
protein function in a defined lipid environment on solid supports. This approach is based on …
