What is the Lipid Bilayer method?

The lipid bilayer is an electrophysiological technique for investigating the function of ion channels, porins, and other pore-forming molecular complexes. The purpose is to study in a control environment ion channels’ behavior at the single molecule level in artificial membranes.
