Abstract
Electroporation of artificial lipid membranes was studied by applying a 10μs, 300-600mV rectangular voltage clamp pulse followed by a ramp of negative slope which decayed to zero in the subsequent 500μs. After the electroporating pulse the membrane conductance begins to increase after a variable time delay (latency time) and shows two distinct phases, a first phase in which conductance increases very rapidly followed by a second slow phase. The inter-relationships between breakdown voltage, latency time and the membrane conductance were investigated in 25 different bilayers.
