Giant Unilamellar Vesicles as Biological Microreactors — •Anna Lippert1,2, Navid Bonakdar1, and Vahid Sandoghdar1 — 1Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light , Günther-Scharowsky-Str. 1 D-91058 Erlangen — 2Friedrich- Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Schloßplatz 4, 91054 Erlangen
The goal of our project is the establishment of a biological microreactor, enabling the production of complex metabolites. As a first simple system we report on our efforts to incorporate the necessary enzymes and transporter proteins to import and convert sucrose into glucose-6-phosphat in a giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV). We aim to use this platform to study confined kinetics, diffusion and transporter activity under controlled conditions.
