Ultrasound effect on gramicidin incorporation into a bilayer lipid membrane has been investigated. The observed increase in the channel opening frequency points to the incorporation rate growth due to the thickness diminishing of near-membrane non-stirred layers. The dependence of ultrasound intensity on the layer thickness is presented.
