Abstract
Black lipid membranes (BLM), as model systems for studies of biological membrane function, offer an opportunity for carrying out measurements which may pertain to cellular mechanisms of many important biological activities. For example, the mechanisms of nerve excitation, of water permeation, of active transport, and of energy transduction are just a few of the problems being actively investigated with the use of BLM. A number of comprehensive reviews covering the earlier studies on BLM have been published recently (1–4).
