The study of artificial membranes is important, because these model-membranes represent the behavior of its biological analogs, with a similar structure, composed of a series of phospholipids and proteins, altering their behavior when exposed to physical and chemical stimulations. This motivates possible applications, for example in the detection and transduction of molecular signals, a very important step in the development of biosensors. In this research we measured the change in the capacitive response of a system, composed by a DPPC bilayer on a thin layer of Chitosan (CH) deposited on a silicon substrate. The system was immersed into a protein solution of gramicidin and the study of the change of the capacitive response confirms the ion channel formation in the bilayer.
