A study of the incorporation of cytochrome oxidase into planar synthetic membranes.
Cytochrome oxidase molecules were incorporated into black lipid membranes and into a new form of planar synthetic membrane. Studies of these membranes indicated that the incorporation of large membrane bound enzymes into black lipid membranes involves difficulties fundamental to this technique. On the other hand the new method described in this paper is more promising.
