Described herein are nanoparticles that are coated with a bilayer of molecules formed from surface binding molecules and amphiphatic molecules. The bilayer coating self assembles on the nanoparticles from readily available materials/molecules. The modular design of the bilayer coated nanoparticles provides a means for readily and efficiently optimizing the properties of the bilayer coated nanoparticle compositions. Also described herein are uses of such nanoparticles in medicine, laboratory techniques, industrial and commerical applications.

can be used as a simple membrane elastometer. Heuristic estimates of the bilayer bending rigidity kappa and the area elastic modulus K(a) enable comparison to other biophysical studies, involving macroscopic deformation of thin membrane lipid films. Finally, the bilayer softness may be correlated with the lipid diversity of biomembranes, for example, with regard to membrane curvature, repulsive interactions
An array of membranes comprising amphipathic molecules is formed using an apparatus comprising a support defining an array of compartments. Volumes comprising polar medium are provided within respective compartments and a layer comprising apolar medium is provided extending across the openings with the volumes. Polar medium is flowed across the support to displace apolar medium and form a layer in contact with the volumes, forming membranes comprising amphipathic molecules at the interfaces. In one construction of the apparatus, the support that comprises partitions which comprise inner portions and outer portions. The inner portions define inner recesses without gaps therebetween that are capable of constraining the volumes comprising polar medium contained in neighbouring inner recesses from contacting each other. The outer portions extend outwardly from the inner portions and have gaps allowing the flow of an apolar medium across the substrate.
The invention relates to a new method of determining the presence, absence or characteristics of an analyte. The analyte is coupled to a membrane. The invention also relates to nucleic acid sequencing.
