> Lipids can be used to form fluid, electrically insulating membranes that are
> a few nanometers thick. Insertion of protein pores in these membranes allows
> the passage of charged substances, such as DNA, which changes conductance
> and can provide analytical information about the passing molecules.
> Alternatively, lipids can be used to facilitate chemical synthesis of
> nucleic acids by adsorbing RNA, DNA or their constituents onto their
> surface; or to study how nucleic acids interact with vesicle-forming lipids,
> as a plausible biomimetic simulation. This talk will present examples of
> these and related interactions and analyses of nucleic acids with lipids.
