Supported bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs) were formed by the selfassembly method on freshly fractured metallic wires. The influence of a host of compounds in membrane forming solutions on s-BLMs and the effect of pH on the function of the s-BLM were studied. Additionally, the redox reactions of a s-BLM containing vinylferrocene as an electron mediator have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The results have shown that ferrocene can be very easily immobilized in s-BLMs. This suggests that s-BLM systems offer a novel approach to the electrode modification by simple way of immobilization of compounds within BLM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
