摘要：

A liposome/sol-gel architecture in which the liposome provides membrane structure and protein orientation of two transmembrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and F0F1-ATP synthase is studied. The liposome/sol-gel architecture enables to generate photo-induced ion fluxes, quantitatively measurable proton gradients and to produce ATP. The two different proteoliposome-doped gels whose properties are determined by the transmembrane proteins are also investigated. It is found that the materials based on the liposome/sol-gel architecture are able to harness the properties of transmembrane proteins and enables a variety of applications, from power generation and energy storage to the powering of molecular motors.
