Channel activity of a viral transmembrane peptide in micro-BLMs: Vpu(1-32) from HIV-1.

We report for the first time on pore-suspending lipid bilayers, which we call micro-black lipid membranes (micro-BLMs), based on a highly ordered macroporous silicon array. Micro-BLMs were established by first functionalizing the backside porous silicon surface with gold and then chemisorbing 1,2-di...
