Abstract
The present invention relates to bioelectronic devices comprising lipid vesicles which are in contact with a chip, particularly with at least one gate of a field effect transistor. The vesicles/bilayers may comprise effector molecules in their membrane and thus are suitable as bioelectronic sensors. The chip may also have a capacitive stimulating spot, with which the electrical or functional state of the membrane or its incorporated molecules may be affected.
