Giant Unilamellar Vesicles as Biological Microreactors — •Anna Lippert^1,2, 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.
