  • MEASUREMENT OF ANALYTES WITH MEMBRANE CHANNEL MOLECULES, AND BILAYER ARRAYS
    Publication number: 20240076734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detection of analyte interaction with a channel molecule held in a membrane, comprising the optical detection of a modification in the flux of a signal molecule as it passes through the channel molecule by the action of a membrane potential, wherein the modification in the flux is caused by at least partial blockage of the channel molecule by the analyte. The invention further relates to bilayer arrays, components, methods of manufacture and use.
    Type: Application
