Abstract
Artificial lipid membranes are an essential tool to study the various processes and functions that take place on the surface of a cell. In the endeavor of creating an artificial cell, thus controlling the mechanistic properties of such a model system is of essential interest. Traditionally, specific lipid compositions are chosen for mimicking specific cell compartments, and the choice of the lipids plays as the primary modulator for the properties of the membrane. Binding kinetics for protein machinery required for the functioning of a proposed synthetic cell require quite specific lipid compositions, whereas the mechanical properties ideal for that function might not be intrinsic to that composition.
