S-layer proteins are commonly found in bacteria and archaea as two-dimensional monomolecular crystalline arrays as the outermost cell membrane component. These proteins have the unique property that following disruption by chemical agents, monomers of the protein can re-assemble to their original lattice structure. This unique property makes S-layers interesting for utilization in bio-nanotechnological applications. Here, we show that the addition of S-layer proteins to bilayer lipid membranes increases the lifetime and the stability of the bilayer. M2 delta ion channels were functionally incorporated into these Slayer stabilized membranes and we were able to record their activity for up to 20 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to visualize the 2D crystalline pattern of the S-layer and the M28 ion channel characteristics in bilayer lipid membrane's were compared in the presence and absence of S-layers (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
