The biomolecule–artificial lipid membrane interface has been investigated by QCM-D, SPR, and FRAP techniques, to study the adsorption process of ferritin on supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) of different composition and charge. Results point out to the predominant role of electrostatics in triggering the interaction of ferritin with SLBs.
