Model lipid bilayers tethered to a gold substrate with molecular tethers are constructed. The conductance versus temperature dependence curve is then obtained. Here, a method to measure the activation energy for translocation of an ion through existing transmembrane pores in a sparsely tethered bilayer lipid membranes is presented.
