Substrate-supported planar lipid bilayers (SPBs) are being utilized as a versatile model system of the biological membrane. However, the proximity between the solid support and membrane limits utility of SPBs for the functional analyses of membrane proteins. Here, we present a model membrane that can enlarge the distance between the substrate surface and the membrane by combining a stable scaffold of polymerized lipid bilayer with a hydrophilic polymer brush. A micropatterned SPB was generated by the lithographic polymerization of diacetylene lipids and subsequent incorporation of natural (fluid) lipid bilayers. Hydrophilic polymer brush of poly-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (poly(MPC)) was formed on the surface of polymeric bilayer by thein situatom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in aqueous solution, in the presence of embedded fluid lipid bilayers. A model membrane protein (Haloquadratum walsbyibacteriorhodopsin: HwBR) could be reconstituted into the polymer brush-supported bilayers with significantly reduced immobile molecules. Furthermore, the polymer brush terminals could be functionalized by successively polymerizing MPC and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate (AMA). The reactive amine moiety of poly(AMA) enables to conjugate a wide range of biological molecules and surfaces to the membrane. The combination of micropatterned bilayer and polymer brush mimics the two- and three-dimensional structures of the biological membrane, providing a platform to assay membrane proteins in a truly biomimetic environment.
