Abstract

Lipid bilayers are ubiquitous as biomimetic assemblies for modeling cell membranes. Specifically, lipid bilayers formed as an adhesive interface between two lipid monolayer coated droplets are currently routinely used to study and model cell membrane transport functions. In the report, we discuss how laser based convection methods are well suited to form such bilayers in an open Petri dish format in an oil matrix. We also present results from our laboratory demonstrating water permeability and proton transport across such bilayers.
