摘要
This paper describes the formation of bilayer lipid membranes on a micromachined support, consisting of a 128 mum (diameter) aperture on a gold/SU8 surface suspended over a small aqueous reservoir (similar to 25 nL). The bilayers are highly impermeable to ion transport with specific resistance values up to 10(7) Omega cm(2) Single-channel activities of gramicidin and alamethicin were observed in these systems. This work demonstrates that micromachined supports for bilayers are promising for the development of a biosensor with single-channel sensitivity.
