Abstract/Summary:
The main aim of work presented here is to design, develop and characterize a colorimetric model membrane (liposome) systems, which can bind with proteins, enzymes, bacteria, virus and other biomolecules. PDA molecules are utilized as a scaffold for the bilayer membrane, and a colorimetric assay is carried out. The holy grail of present work contributes towards the better understanding of protein interactions with the cell bilayer surface. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
