✦ Synopsis

Biomembranes play a central role in signal transduction and information processing. This is due to the fact that most physiological activities involve some kind of lipid bilayer-based receptor-ligand contact interactions. There are many outstanding examples, such as ion sensing, antigen-antibody binding and ligand-gated channels. Our approach to studying these interactions in vitro is facilitated by using self-assembled bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs) . We have focused our efforts on ion and/or molecular selectivity and specificity using recently available s-BLMs, whose enhanced stability greatly aids in research areas of membrane biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology as well as in biosensor design and molecular device development.

The gradual hydration of phospholipid films can be effectively probed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (cf. part I of this series). The hydration-induced changes observed for lipid IR-absorption bands are probably composed of contributions arising from the effects of both the direct
