Heitz B, Branstrom R, Yang W, Huang Y, Moede T, Leibiger I, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Nov; 11(1):21539. PMID: 34728728
ATP-sensitive K (K) channels couple cellular metabolism to electrical activity in many cell types. Wild-type K channels are comprised of four pore forming (Kir6.x) and four regulatory (sulfonylurea receptor, SURx)...

Page J, Heitz B, Joubert J, Keogh J, Sparer T, Saavedra S, et al.
J Biomed Mater Res A . 2011 Mar; 97(2):212-7. PMID: 21391298
Phosphatidyl choline (PC)-based materials have been found to be resistant to nonspecific protein adhesion in vitro. In this study, a PC-based planar supported phospholipid bilayer composed of 1,2-bis[10-(2',4'-hexadienoyloxy)decanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (bis-SorbPC or...

Heitz B, Xu J, Jones I, Keogh J, Comi T, Hall Jr H, et al.
Langmuir . 2011 Jan; 27(5):1882-90. PMID: 21226498
The stabilization of suspended planar lipid membranes, or black lipid membranes (BLMs), through polymerization of mono- and bis-functionalized dienoyl lipids was investigated. Electrical properties, including capacitance, conductance, and dielectric breakdown...

Heitz B, Jones I, Hall Jr H, Aspinwall C, Saavedra S
J Am Chem Soc . 2010 May; 132(20):7086-93. PMID: 20441163
Suspended planar lipid membranes (or black lipid membranes (BLMs)) are widely used for studying reconstituted ion channels, although they lack the chemical and mechanical stability needed for incorporation into high-throughput...

Heitz B, Xu J, Hall Jr H, Aspinwall C, Saavedra S
J Am Chem Soc . 2009 Apr; 131(19):6662-3. PMID: 19397328
Black lipid membranes (BLMs) are widely used for recording the activity of incorporated ion channel proteins. However, BLMs are inherently unstable structures that typically rupture within a few hours after...
