Abstract
Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are model membrane systems that can be used to study the interaction between amyloid fibers and membranes with atomic force microscopy (AFM). This chapter describes the preparation of SLBs on mica that can then be used as a substrate for fiber absorption. AFM can then be used to study the topography of the lipid-protein surface to study the evolution of the fibers, as well as the modifications on the membrane induced by their presence.Entities:
