Characterization of Novel Poly(lipid) BLMs for Long-Term Ion Channel Scaffolds Towards the Development of High-Throughput Screening Devices

Suspended lipid bilayers, or black lipid membranes (BLMs), have been used to study the electrophysiological properties of ion channels (ICs); however, BLMs assembled from natural, non-polymerizable lipids are inherently unstable due to the non-covalent associations on which they are based. Lifetime...
