Our protocol describes how to assemble and electrically characterize a peptide-doped biomembrane that closely mimics the composition, structure, and transport properties of biological synapses and which exhibits tunable memory resistance. This tec

Soft, low-power, biomolecular memristors leverage similar composition, structure, and switching mechanisms of bio-synapses. Presented here is a protocol to assemble and characterize biomolecular memristors obtained from insulating lipid bilayers formed between water droplets in oil. The incorporation of voltage-activated alamethicin peptides results in memristive ionic conductance across the membrane.
