A method to fabricate porous silicon membranes as thin as 1
micrometer for analysis of transmembrane proteins is detailed. This
comprehensive presentation includes: 1) The detailed process to
fabricate porous silicon membranes that are supported from the
sides. The porous silicon membrane acts as a sieve that separates
two compartments. 2) A procedure to deposit a viable and robust
synthetic lipid bilayer membrane on the porous silicon, and
incorporate transmembrane proteins into it. This procedure includes
answers to what technique to use for lipid bilayer deposition, and
which lipids to choose for incorporating proteins. This lipid
bilayer membrane acts as a plasma membrane in living cells. 3) A
comprehensive analysis, characterization, and assessment of the
complete process and each individual step is performed using
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force
microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The rigid
porous wall and the lipid membrane with fused functional
transmembrane proteins result in a device that resembles the
cellular wall of the E. Coli bacteria. Numerous membrane proteins
may be analyzed using this device.

The Terrorist Prince is a gripping insider's account of the
Pakistani resistance organization Al-Zulfikar (in Urdu, "The
Sword"), set up in 1979 after the coup by General Ziaul-Haq and the
execution of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Raja Anwar, the
author, was an advisor to Prime Minister Bhutto and one of the
organizers of the campaign to save his life after his conviction on
a trumped-up murder charge. Named as a traitor by Zia, and liable
to execution if arrested, Anwar sought asylum in Germany. But when
Bhutto's sons Murtaza and Shahnawaz asked him to join them, he
agreed and participated in the founding of Al-Zulfikar. Raja Anwar
recounts the transformation of Al-Zulfikar into a terrorist group,
run by Murtaza Bhutto as his own exclusive fiefdom. In 1981, the
organization hijacked a Pakistani airline en route to Kabul. Twice
it came close to assassinating Zia. For his opposition to Murtaza's
leadership, Anwar was imprisoned in Kabul for four years. Murtaza
himself was killed by the police in Karachi in 1996. Raja Anwar
draws unmistakably convincing portraits of the obsessively ruthless
Murtaza, his lieutenant, chief executioner and eventual victim,
Salamullah Tipu, and the young workers who sacrificed their lives
for a corrupted cause. Rich in detail available only to a
participant in the turbulent events it portrays, The Terrorist
Prince brilliantly fuses the tension and pace of a political
thriller with the veracity of first-rate reportage. It is a
compelling narrative of ruptures which continue to divide a deeply
troubled Pakistan.
