Spherical supported lipid bilayer membranes (SS-BLMs) assembled on silica beads were characterized using fluorescence spectroscopy and 1H high-resolution magic angle spinning (1H HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Particularly, experiments were defined to probe whether there is a water layer between the silica surface and the lipid membrane, and if there is, what are its characteristics including thickness and structure. In the case of fluorescence spectroscopy studies, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, a self-quenching fluorophore, was added to the preparation of SS-BLMs assembled through biotin-avidin tethering. These experiments established that there is indeed a water layer between the silica surface and the supported lipid membrane as the fluorescent pr...
