Single-channel fluctuations in bimolecular lipid membranes induced by rat olfactory epithelial homogenates.

Chemosensitive single-channel fluctuations were observed to be induced in essentially solvent-free lipid bimolecular membranes by the addition of sonicated homogenates of rat olfactory epithelium. The chemosensitive channels were not observed when respiratory epithelium homogenates were used instead. Ionic selectivity is consistent with potassium ions as the charge carrier. These channels may be associated with the initial events of chemoreception in the rat olfactory epithelium.

Solvent-free lipid bimolecular membranes of large surface area.

The formation of a solvent-free lipid bimolecular membrane of large surface area (approx. 2 mm2) by the successive transfer of two monolayers upon an aperature of a closed chamber has been demonstrated. The electrical parameters of the membrane appear to be similar to the conventional Montal-Mueller solvent-free membrane. The use of a closed chamber greatly increases the stability of the membrane to mechanical disturbances and produces hydrostatic equilibrium necessary for electrical measurements.
