Biological membranes are segmented into functional compartments of different length and time scales. Here we study model systems which mimic certain aspects of these multiscale phaenomena. We introduce a novel experimental setup for modulating adhesion of giant unilamellar vesicles to a planar substrate. Adhesion is induced by application of an external potential to a transparent ITO electrode (the substrate), which enables single-vesicle studies. We demonstrate tuneable and reversible adhesion of negatively charged vesicles. The adhesion energy at different potentials is calculated from the vesicle shape assessed with confocal microscopy. Two approaches for these estimates are employed: one based on the whole contour of the vesicle and a s...
