Abstract
The planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) of egg lecithin containing amphiphilic azobenzene 8A5 (approx. 10 mol%) was fabricated. Electrical properties of the BLM were examined to clarify the mechanism of the recently observed novel photoelectric response; transient photocurrent and the change of AC impedance by alternate irradiation with UV and visible light. It has been concluded that the photoelectric response is caused by the change of membrane capacitance due to cis-trans isomerization of 8A5.
