Abstract
Assembling transmembrane proteins on organic electronic materials is one promising approach to couple biological functions to electrical readouts. A biosensing device produced in such a way would enable both the monitoring and regulation of physiological processes and the development of new analytical tools to identify drug targets and new protein functionalities. While transmembrane proteins can be interfaced with bioelectronics through supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), incorporating functional and oriented transmembrane proteins into these structures remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate that cell-free expression systems allow for the one-step integration of an ion channel into SLBs assembled on an organic conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). Using the large conductance mechanosensitive channel (MscL) as a model ion channel, we demonstrate that MscL adopts the correct orientation, remains mobile in the SLB, and is active on the polyelectrolyte surface using optical and electrical readouts. This work serves as an important illustration of a rapidly assembled bioelectronic platform with a diverse array of downstream applications, including electrochemical sensing, physiological regulation, and screening of transmembrane protein modulators.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health concern due to the decreasing number of antibiotics available for therapeutic use as more drug-resistant bacteria develop. Changes in the membrane properties of Gram-negative bacteria can influence their response to antibiotics and give rise to resistance. Thus, understanding the interactions between the bacterial membrane and antibiotics is important for elucidating microbial membrane properties to use for designing novel antimicrobial drugs. To study bacterial membrane-antibiotic interactions, we created a surface-supported planar bacterial outer membrane model on an optically-transparent, conducting polymer surface (poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)). This model enables membrane characterization using fluorescence microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The membrane platform is fabricated using outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) isolated from clinically relevant Gram-negative bacteria, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. This approach enables us to mimic the native components of the bacterial membrane by incorporating native lipids, membrane proteins, and lipopolysaccharides. Using EIS, we determined membrane impedance and captured membrane-antibiotic interactions using the antibiotics polymyxin B, bacitracin, and meropenem. This sensor platform incorporates aspects of the biological complexity found in bacterial outer membranes and, by doing so, offers a powerful, biomimetic approach to the study of antimicrobial drug interactions.

Abstract
Natural and synthetic polycations of different kinds attract substantial attention due to an increasing number of their applications in the biomedical industry and in pharmacology. The key characteristic determining the effectiveness of the majority of these applications is the number of macromolecules adsorbed on the surface of biological cells or their lipid models. Their study is complicated by a possible heterogeneity of polymer layer adsorbed on the membrane. Experimental methods reflecting the structure of the layer include the electrokinetic measurements in liposome suspension and the boundary potential of planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) and lipid monolayers with a mixed composition of lipids and the ionic media. In the review, we systematically analyze the methods of experimental registration and theoretical description of the laterally heterogeneous structures in the polymer layer published in the literature and in our previous studies. In particular, we consider a model based on classical theory of the electrical double layer, used to analyze the available data of the electrokinetic measurements in liposome suspension with polylysines of varying molecular mass. This model suggests a few parameters related to the heterogeneity of the polymer layer and allows determining the conditions for its appearance at the membrane surface. A further development of this theoretical approach is discussed.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the design and construction of artificial photosythetic materials for solar energy utilization and conversion. Inspired by the structure of thylakoid membrane, we present here a hybrid construct for light-harvesting and oxygen releasing. Our design conjugates chlorophyll to TiO2 in a native-like membrane environment. The natural bilayer structure of lipids is utilized to localize the amphiphilic chlorophyll a and hydrophobic tetrabutyl titanate TBOT in the liposomal membrane during hydration process. The coassembled structure, which mimics the essential organization of the thylakoid membrane, is characterized using a combination of field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), Ramam spectra, pressure (π)-area (Α) isotherms, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. Our results demonstrate successful insertation of chlorophyll a in the membrane and confirm the in situ formation of TiO2 nanoshell confined at the lipid bilayer/water interface. We further show that the hybrid liposomes exhibit unambiguous photoactivity in visible light-harvesting and oxygen release, likely resulting from a larger specific surface area of the TiO2 shell, an efficient interfacial conjugation of the chlorophyll molecules with the thin TiO2 layer. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were in accordance with the eletron injection processes.We expect that the present work will open a new insight into interfacial recombination between light-harvesting pigments and their sensitized photocatalysis, and develop a new kind of artificial photosynthetic materials with zero-cost of environmental degradation and high efficiency for the photocatalytic O2 production.

Abstract
Supported Lipid Bilayers (SLBs) on Polyelectrolyte Multilayers (PEMs) have large potential as models for developing sensor devices. SLBs can be designed with receptors and channels, which benefit from the biological environment of the lipid layers, to create a sensing interface for ions and biomarkers. PEMs assembled by the Layer-by-Layer (LBL) technique and used as supports for a lipid bilayer enable an easy integration of the bilayer on almost any surface and device. For electrochemical sensors, LBL assembly enables nanoscale tunable separation of the lipid bilayer from the electrode surface, avoiding undesired effects of the electrode surface on the lipid bilayers. We study the fabrication of valinomycin-doped SLBs on PEMs as a model system for biophysical studies and for selective ion sensing. SLBs are fabricated from dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) 50:50 vesicles doped with valinomycin, as a K+-selective carrier. SLBs were deposited on electrodes coated with poly(allyl amine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrene sodium sulfonate) (PSS) multilayers. Lipid bilayer formation was monitored by using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCMD) technique and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiometric measurements were performed to assess K+ selectivity over other ions and the potential of valinomycin-doped SLBs for K+-sensing.

Abstract
The engineering of artificial cells is one of the most significant scientific challenges. Thus, controlled fabrication and
in situ
monitoring of biomimetic nanoscale objects are among the central issues in current science and technology. Studies of transmembrane channels and cell mechanics often require the formation of lipid bilayers (LBs), their modification and their transfer to a particular place. We present here a novel approach for remotely controlled manipulation of LBs. Layer-by-layer deposition of polyethyleneimine and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) on a nanostructured TiO
2
photoanode was performed to obtain a surface with the desired net charge and to enhance photocatalytic performance. The LB was deposited on top of a multi-layer positive polymer cushion by the dispersion of negative vesicles. The separation distance between the electrostatically linked polyelectrolyte cushion and the LB can be adjusted by changing the environmental pH, as zwitter-ionic lipid molecules undergo pH-triggered charge-shifting. Protons were generated remotely by photoanodic water decomposition on the TiO
2
surface under 365 nm illumination. The resulting pH gradient was characterized by scanning vibrating electrode and scanning ion-selective electrode techniques. The light-induced reversible detachment of the LB from the polymer-cushioned photoactive substrate was found to correlate with suggested impedance models.

Abstract
Water uptake in vesicles and the subsequent exchange between water protons and amide -NH protons in amino acids can be followed by a new, highly sensitive, type of magnetic resonance spectroscopy: dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP)-enhanced NMR in the liquid state. Water hydrogen atoms are detected prior to and after their transfer to molecular sites in peptides and proteins featuring highly-accessible proton-exchangeable groups, as is the case for the -NH groups of intrinsically disordered proteins. The detected rates for amide proton-water proton exchange can be modulated by membrane-crossing rates, when a membrane channel is interposed. We hyperpolarised water proton spins via dynamic nuclear polarisation followed by sample dissolution (d-DNP) and transferred the created polarisation to -NH groups with high solvent accessibility in an intrinsically disordered protein domain. This domain is the membrane anchor of c-Src kinase, whose activity controls cell proliferation. The hindrance of effective water proton transfer rate constants observed in free solvent when a membrane-crossing step is involved is discussed. This study aims to assess the feasibility of recently-introduced hyperpolarised (DNP-enhanced) NMR to assess water membrane crossing dynamics.

Abstract
In situ studies of transmembrane channels often require a model bioinspired artificial lipid bilayer (LB) decoupled from its underlaying support. Obtaining free-standing lipid membranes is still a challenge. In this study, we suggest an electrochemical approach for LB separation from its solid support via hydroquinone oxidation. Layer-by-layer deposition of polyethylenimine (PEI) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) on the gold electrode was performed to obtain a polymeric nanocushion of [PEI/PSS]3/PEI. The LB was deposited on top of an underlaying polymer support from the dispersion of small unilamellar vesicles due to their electrostatic attraction to the polymer support. Since lipid zwitterions demonstrate pH-dependent charge shifting, the separation distance between the polyelectrolyte support and LB can be adjusted by changing the environmental pH, leading to lipid molecules recharge. The proton generation associated with hydroquinone oxidation was studied using scanning vibrating electrode and scanning ion-selective electrode techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is suggested to be a powerful instrument for the in situ observation of processes associated with the LB-solid support interface. Electrochemical spectroscopy highlighted the reversible disappearance of the LB impact on impedance in acidic conditions set by dilute acid addition as well as by electrochemical proton release on the gold electrode due to hydroquinone oxidation.

Abstract
Lipid bilayer membranes supported on polyelectrolyte multilayers are widely used as a new biomembrane model that connects biological and artificial materials since these ultrathin polyelectrolyte supports may mimic the role of the extracellular matrix and cell skeleton in living systems. Polyelectrolyte multilayers were fabricated by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation was used in real time to monitor the interaction between phospholipids and polyelectrolytes in situ on a planar substrate. The surface properties of polyelectrolyte films were investigated by the measurement of contact angles and zeta potential. Phospholipid charge, buffer pH and substrate hydrophilicity were proved to be essential for vesicle adsorption, rupture, fusion and formation of continuous lipid bilayers on the polyelectrolyte multilayers. The results clearly demonstrated that only the mixture of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidic acid (4 : 1) resulted in fluid bilayers on chitosan and alginate multilayers with chitosan as a top layer at pH 6.5. A coarse-grained molecular simulation study elucidated that the exact mechanism of the formation of fluid lipid bilayers resembles a "parachute" model. As the closest model to the real membrane, polyelectrolyte multilayer-cushioned fluid lipid bilayers can be appropriate candidates for application in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Supported membranes on polymer cushions are of fundamental interest as models for cell membranes. The use of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) assembled by the layer by layer (LbL) technique as supports for a bilayer allows for easy integration of the lipid bilayer on surfaces and devices and for nanoscale tunable spacing of the lipid bilayer. Controlling ionic permeability in lipid bilayers supported on PEMs triggers potential applications in sensing and as models for transport phenomena in cell membranes. Lipid bilayers displaying gramicidin channels are fabricated on top of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) multilayer films, by the assembly of vesicles of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, 50 : 50 M/M, carrying gramicidin (GA). Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation shows that the vesicles with GA fuse into a bilayer. Atomic force microscopy reveals that the presence of GA alters the bilayer topography resulting in depressions in the bilayer of around 70 nm in diameter. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies show that supported bilayers carrying GA have smaller resistances than the bilayers without GA. Lipid layers carrying GA display a higher conductance for K+ than for Na+ and are blocked in the presence of Ca2+.

Abstract
The surface properties of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) obtained via sequential adsorption of oppositely charged polyions from their solutions and used as cushions for supported lipid bilayers were investigated. Five types of polyelectrolytes were used: cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), poly(diallyldimethylammonium)chloride (PDADMAC), and poly-l-lysine hydrobromide (PLL); and anionic polysodium 4-styrenesulfonate (PSS) and poly-l-glutamic acid sodium (PGA). The wettability and surface free energy of the PEMs were determined by contact angle measurements using sessile drop analysis. Electrokinetic characterisation of the studied films was performed by streaming potential measurements of selected multilayers and the structure of the polyelectrolyte multilayer was characterized by synchrotron X-ray reflectometry. The examined physicochemical properties of the PEMs were correlated with the kinetics of the formation of supported lipid bilayers atop the PEM cushion.

Abstract
Deeper understanding of the molecular interactions between polymeric materials and the lipid membrane is important across a range of applications from permeation for drug delivery to encapsulation for immuno-evasion. Using highly fluidic microcavity supported lipid bilayers, we studied the interactions between amphiphilic polymer PP50 and a DOPC lipid bilayer. As the PP50 polymer is pH responsive the studies were carried out at pH 6.5, 7.05 and 7.5, corresponding to fully, partly protonated (pH = pKa = 7.05) and fully ionized states of the polymer, respectively. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) using both labelled lipid and polymer revealed the PP50 associates with the bilayer interface across all pHs where its diffusion along the interface is impeded. Both FCS and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data indicate that the PP50 does not penetrate fully into the bilayer core but rather forms a layer at the bilayer aqueous interface reflected in increased resistance and decreased capacitance of the bilayer on PP50 binding. The extent of these effects and the dynamics of binding are influenced by pH, increasing with decreasing pH. These experimental trends concurred with coarse grained Monte Carlo simulations of polymer-bilayer interactions wherein a model hydrophilic polymer backbone grafted with side chains of varying hydrophobicity, to mimic the effect of varying pH, was simulated based on the bond fluctuation model with explicit solvent. Simulation results showed that with increasing hydrophobicity, the polymer penetrated deeper into the contacting bilayer leaflet of the membrane suppressing, consistent with EIS data, solvent permeation and that a full insertion of the polymer into the bilayer core is not necessary for suppression of permeability.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM)-supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) that connect with functional proteins are popular models for cell membranes and are usually obtained via vesicle adsorption and spreading. However, the exact mechanism by which SLBs are formed is not fully understood. In this study, we employ coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the pathways by which vesicles undergo spreading upon the deposition on PEM-cushioned substrates. The substrates consist of positive chitosan (CHI)/negative alginate (ALG) multilayers. We find that an isolated vesicle tends to completely disintegrate upon deposition, forming a well-ordered lipid bilayer at appropriate polymer ionic strengths by a mechanism described as "parachute" model. Lipids from the vesicle's outer leaflet are predominantly oriented toward the bulk after the formation of the SLB. The PEM cushion provides adsorption energy of 26.9 kJ mol-1 per lipid for the SLBs. The process by which SLBs are formed is almost independent of the number of layers of CHI/ALG in the PEM cushion. Additional simulations on vesicle clusters also demonstrate that the formation of SLBs can be catalyzed by either neighboring vesicles or preexisting bilayer edges on the support. Moreover, our simulations show that SLBs created on PEM supports preserve the lateral mobility and the symmetric density profile of the phospholipids, as in a freestanding bilayer.
