title: A simple and versatile method for the formation of arrays of giant vesicles with controlled size and composition.
abstract: A simple and versatile method for the Formation of Arrays of Giant Vesicles with Controlled Size and Composition. The ability of this technique to generate arrays of giant liposomes from a wide range of membrane lipids and protein compositions is demonstrated. The resulting vesicles are utilized for studying protein activity, lipid-protein interactions, and protein-protein interactions.
