Mimicking anhydrobiosis on solid supported lipid bilayers

The studies presented in this thesis focus on the synthesis of air-stable solid supported lipid bilayers by anhydrobiotic mechanisms. Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) serve as platforms that mimic cellular membrane surfaces in appearance and behavior. One of the most attractive aspects of the SLB is...
