A membrane fusion assay based on pore-spanning lipid bilayers

Abstract

Pore-spanning planar membranes on highly ordered porous silicon substrates were shown to be well suited to monitor the calcium ion mediated fusion of large unilamellar vesicles by means of confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy and scanning ion conductance microscopy in real-time.
