Abstract:<br>
As part of a project centered on functionally incorporating ion channels
in non-native and polymer- stabilized lipid bilayers, we are interested
in characterizing the ion translocation behavior of the resulting
assemblies. We have investigated several ion-channels with a view
towards using them in tethered bilayers over microelectronic devices for
eventual biosensor applications. The ion channel characteristics
and their functional incorporation in bilayers will be presented.
Single channel ion current fluctuations were measured by several methods
and these data will be discussed. Finally methods to tether the ion
channel/lipid bilayer assembly to solid state devices and protein-based
techniques for stabilization will be presented. <br>
