Popis: The study of current fluctuations of metal-supported bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLM) modified by glucose oxidase (GOX) is presented. Current fluctuations are expressed as a dependence of spectral density ( P ) on a frequency and as a dependence of P at certain frequency (10, 100 and 1000 Hz) on the concentration of glucose and/or current flowing across a membrane. We have shown that in the frequency range of 10–1000 Hz, the dependence of spectral density on the frequency of fluctuations can be described by the dependence 1/ f α , where α ∼1. This dependence is typical for fluctuations of the current flowing across free-standing BLM observed earlier. The amplitude of P for s-BLM with immobilized GOX was considerably larger than that without GOX. However, the current flowing across s-BLM was higher than that for s-BLM with immobilized GOX. The origin of fluctuations is explained by means of the peculiarities of s-BLM structure and by the influence of conformational changes of GOX on the properties of supported bilayers.
