Studies of Ligand-Receptor Pairs Utilizing Polymerized Planar Supported Lipid Bilayers

Artificial membranes composed of natural lipids are not stable when exposed to air/vacuum, surfactant, organic solvent, etc. Polymerizable lipids provide an opportunity to broaden the use of lipid membranes to study ligand-receptor pairs under harsh experimental conditions. This dissertation present...
