Abstract

AbstractSupported lipid bilayer (SLB) is one artificial biomembrane system used to study transportation reactions through biomembranes using solid devices and surface scientific methods. A key step in the SLB formation is the transformation of spherical lipid vesicles to a planar membrane. We investigated stimulation methods for adsorbed lipid vesicles on a streptavidin‐modified SiO2/Si substrate to induce tethered‐type SLB. We describe the effects of osmotic stress, Ca2+ addition, and a freeze–thaw cycle on the adsorbed vesicles, and on the condition of t‐SLB.
