Formation of Bimolecular Membranes from Lipid Monolayers and a Study of Their Electrical Properties

Bimolecular membranes are formed from two lipid monolayers at an air-water interface by the apposition of their hydrocarbon chains when an aperture in a Teflon partition separating two aqueous phases is lowered through the interface. Formation of the membrane is monitored by an increase of the elect... View More
