Cell-sized water droplets coated by a phospholipid layer mimicking the inner surface of living cells were manipulated by laser tweezers and used as biochemical microreactors. The cell-sized phospholipid-coated microdroplets (CPMDs) consisted of a water droplet in mineral oil with a diameter of 1-100 mu m and coated by 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. We monitored the time development of biochemical reactions in a single CPMD obtained after the controlled fusion of two CPMDs containing a substrate and an enzyme, respectively. We present results on two enzymatic reactions: calcein production in the presence of esterase and green fluorescence protein expression.
