Integration of lipid bilayer membranes with plasmonic nanostructures. (a) Supported lipid bilayers formed on the SiO2 surface at the base of Au nanoholes. From Dahlin et al.65 (b) Intact vesicles tethered to SiO2 inside Au nanoholes via hybridization of complimentary DNA strands. From Dahlin et al.124 (c) Lipid bilayers formed over Ag nanocubes. The SAM on the nanocubes leads to a hybrid SAM-lipid bilayer that covers the nanocubes, while a lipid bilayer is formed on the glass between nanocubes. Adapted from Galush et al.125 (d) A lipid bilayer membrane suspended over nanopores in a free-standing Au film coated with an SiO2 shell. Adapted from Im et al.126 (e) A lipid bilayer membrane decorated with proteins covering a Au nanorod. Adapted from Baciu et al.23
