Determining the Bending Rigidity of Free-Standing Planar Phospholipid Bilayers
We describe a method to determine membrane bending rigidity from capacitance measurements on large area, free-standing, planar, biomembranes. The bending rigidity of lipid membranes is an important biological mechanical property that is commonly optically measured in vesicles, but difficult to quant...
