Abstract

Particular circuit component structures, and methods of using such structures, based upon a lipid bilayer membrane, a first liquid phase that is in contact with one surface of the membrane and a second liquid phase that is in contact with the other surface of the membrane. A substance inducing voltage-dependent conductance in the membrane is present in one of the liquid phases.
