Preparation of GUVs by and electroformation method A protocol based on Okamura et al.1 was adapted as follows. Three sets of incisions, 2mm apart, were made on the bottom of a Perfusion Chamber Cover Well to accommodate two platinum wires and a narrow glass capillary, 50-100μm in diameter. The glass capillary was coated with a thin layer of a 0.1M lipid solution (of the required lipid mixture) in chloroform, and allowed to dry for several minutes. A perfusion Chamber Cover Well TM was placed onto the adhesive surface of an imaging Spacer Secure-Seal, which was in turn placed onto a microscope slide and allowed to adhere for several minutes. The chamber then was filled with MilliQ water ensuring no air bubbles were formed around the Pt wires or the glass capillary. The platinum wires were connected to a function generator (built in-house) operating at 10Hz and 2V using crocodile clips. Electroformation was carried out typically for two hours.
