Abstract
An arrangement for the investigation of hydrophilic macromolecules (1) in an aqueous solution having a solid carrier surface (5) onto which a lipid film (24) is disposed, wherein the molecules (1) to be investigated are bound, by means of a molecular coupling system (20), to the lipid film (24) and thus are immobilized, is characterized in that the molecular coupling system (20) comprises at least two, preferably three molecular or nuclear components (21, 22, 23), which can be coupled to each other, of which a first component (21) is bound to the lipid film (24) and a second component (22) is bound to a hydrophilic macromolecule (1) to be investigated. In this way, it is rendered possible to immobilize and investigate any hydrophilic macromolecules, wherein the coating of the solid carrier surface should be able to be carried out in an as easy as possible and reversible manner.
