Electrostatics at Peptide-Lipid Interface in Nano-Bio Hybrid Systems by Spin-Labeling EPR

Abstract

Due to their ubiquity, versatility, and chemical diversity, lipid bilayers are an increasingly important component of engineered biosensors and biophysical measurement platforms. Bilayers supported on solid substrates are a common design feature of these systems, and the presence of the substrate introduces perturbations in the bilayer structure, affecting both stability and function.
