Low Cost Microfabricated Silicon Chip for Membrane Protein Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show the feasibility on using silicon batch-fabricated non planar microsized aperture for the monitoring of membrane proteins inserted in a lipid bilayer reconstituted on this aperture. A low cost chemical etching protocol was used for micromachining the pore. This work is a first step towards integrated silicon biochips designed for membrane protein recording.
