Abstract: Abstract Here, we used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to demonstrate that the polar lipid fraction E (PLFE), a major bipolar tetraether lipid component isolated from thermoacidophilic archaea, can form free-standing planar membranes with remarkable membrane stability… read more here.

Abstract: We describe a method to determine membrane bending rigidity from capacitance measurements on large area, free-standing, planar, biomembranes. The bending rigidity of lipid membranes is an important biological mechanical property that is commonly optically measured… read more here.
