  • Method for the assembly of polar-nonpolar-polar proteolipid membranes
    Patent number: 5080936
    Abstract: A method for the formation of a proteolipid membrane based on interphase peptides according to which an interphase peptide which has formed at the boundary of an aqueous phase and a nonpolar phase of organic solvent is brought into contact with an assembly of amphiphilic compounds such that the nonpolar surfaces of the interphase peptide and of the assembly of amphiphilic compounds face each other. In addition to peptide, the membrane also contains lipid.
