Use of structure with membrane having continuous pores

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A substance enveloped in a film of a structure comprising at least one membrane extending along a plane, curved, cylindrical or vesicular surface consisting essentially of at least one layer of identical protein containing molecules, which molecules are arranged to form a crystal lattice having a lattice constant of 1 to 50 nm.
2.
A pharmaceutical enclosed in a capsules envelope of a structure comprising at least one membrane extending along a plane, curved, cylindrical or vesicular surface consisting essentially of at least one layer of identical protein containing molecules, which molecules are arranged to form a crystal lattice having a lattice constant of 1 to 50 nm.
3.
In a method of immobilizing molecules on a carrier, the improvement comprising using as the carrier a structure comprising at least one membrane extending along a plane, curved, cylindrical or vesicular surface consisting essentially of at least one layer of identical protein containing molecules, which molecules are arranged to form a crystal lattice having a lattice constant of 1 to 50 nm.
4.
The process of claim 3 wherein the membrane has pores with a diameter of 0.
5 to 40 nm.
5.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are at least one member of the group consisting of proteins and peptides.
6.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are at least one member of the group consisting glycoproteins and glycopeptides.
7.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are at least one member of the group consisting of polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and sugars.
8.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are lipids.
9.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are lipopolysaccharides.
10.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are enzymes.
11.
The process of claim 3 wherein the molecules immobilized on the carrier are antigens
