Abstract

Biopolymer self assembly in heterogeneous lipid monolayers at the air-water interface was investigated. Fluorescence microscopy allowed the visualization of protein recognition and binding to these microstructured membranes. Mimicking proteininduced membrane microstructuring and protein docking was achieved in ternary mixed lipid monolayer systems.
