A tethered bilayer assembled on top of immobilized calmodulin to mimic cellular compartmentalization.
<h4>Background</h4>Biomimetic membrane models tethered on solid supports are important tools for membrane protein biochemistry and biotechnology. The supported membrane systems described up to now are composed of a lipid bilayer tethered or not to a surface separating two compartments: a...
