Abstract
A method for preparing a tightly sealed 3D lipid structure and a tightly sealed 3D lipid structure prepared thereby is disclosed. The method allows for simpler and more convenient preparation of an artificial biomembrane structure on a substrate using a lipid material, by using a plurality of transparent microwells formed on the substrate, and observation inside the microwells. In addition, a spherical 3D artificial single bilayer structure may be sealed very tightly through a simple method of changing the frequency of an electric field applied vertically to the microwells having a lipid layer formed. Through this, a biomimetic 3D structure having the structural and/or functional characteristics of a cell membrane constituting a cell can be provided more effectively.
