Abstract: Disclosed here are methods useful for incorporating protein into lipid bilayers using voltage induced insertion. The methods presented herein can decrease time and costs associated with incorporation of proteins into naturally derived or artificially created lipid bilayers. A method for incorporating a protein capable of translocating a ligand also is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A system and method for non-invasively measuring the electrical potential radiated by a cell. To do this, a probe is positioned within ten microns distance from the cell for receiving the signal. Also, a reference potential is determined for the cell's environment. A sensor records the signal and compares the reference potential to the cell's signal to measure the electrical potential of the cell.
