Abstract: Self-assembled monolayers, phospholipid bilayers, and membrane bound proteins are assembled on a subwavelength metallic array. These assemblies are assayed with direct infrared absorption spectroscopy which is greatly enhanced due to the extraordinary infrared transmission of the arrays. Stacking the arrays, one upon another, accentuates the surface plasmon properties and provides the basis of a nanospaced capacitive sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
