    The present study describes a method for generating solid supported lipid membranes. Liposomes containing β-diketone ligands were chemically bound to crystalline surface (S-) layer proteins which entirely covered the gold sensors. These ligands formed complexes with added europium(III) ions and triggered fusion/rupture of the liposomes resulting in planar supported lipid bilayers.
