Lipid Bilayers on Planes and in Micropipettes - Two model systems to study binding of DivIVA to flat and negatively curved membranes
The aim of this thesis work was to form and characterize model systems of cell membranes on planar supports and in micropipettes. Firstly, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) were formed on glass slides after an existing experimental procedure. It was shown possible to obtain fluid SLBs from different kinds of lipids as well as on glass slides that were cleaned with different techniques. Custom-writte
