Genesis of a Horizontal Electric Field within the Lipid Bilayer: A Bilayer-Embedded Actuation Platform
Maki Komiya, Madoka Sato, Teng Ma +19
The electric field of biological membranes has long been treated as a one-dimensional quantity, defined solely by the component normal to the bilayer (E_VERT). Here, we present a b…
Optical transport of sub-micron lipid vesicles along an optical nanofibre
Takaaki Yoshino, Daichi Yamaura, Maki Komiya +6
Enhanced manipulation and analysis of bio-particles using light confined in nano-scale dielectric structures has proceeded apace in the last several years. Small mode volumes, alon…
A Teflon-based system for applying multidirectional voltages to lipid bilayers as a novel platform for membrane proteins
Maki Komiya, Kensaku Kanomata, Ryo Yokota +13
Artificial bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs), along with patch-clamped membranes, are frequently used for functional analyses of membrane proteins. In both methods, the electric prope…
