Abstract
The use of artificial bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) as an experimental model of biomembranes has provided much insight into the structure and function relationship of natural membranes. Particularly relevant has been the advance in the theoretical and experimental investigations of light energy transduction and that of transport mechanisms via membrane channel reconstitution. This paper will focus on two aspects of BLM studies in relation to biomembranes: namely, membrane electrochemistry and membrane photochemistry. Some attention will be paid to the basic principles as applied to membrane research. Recent experiments with BLMs will be summarized and their potential applications in areas of biosensor development, biomolecular electronic devices, (BED) and solar energy conversion discussed.
