title: Orienting lipid domains in giant vesicles using an electric field.
abstract: Directing the orientation of molecular assemblies is a key step toward creating complex hierarchical structures that yield higher order functional materials. Here, we demonstrate the directed orientation of functionalized lipid domains and protein-membrane assemblies, using an electric field.
