Incorporation of membrane proteins into interfacial films: model membranes for electrical and structural characterization (original) (raw)

This article discusses the incorporation of membrane proteins into interfacial films, highlighting their advantages over traditional planar lipid bilayers for electrical and structural characterization. The ability to manipulate film geometry allows simultaneous biochemical and electrical measurements, facilitating deeper insights into electrogenic events associated with membrane proteins. The review focuses on the organizational aspects of lipid-protein interactions within these films and their potential as effective models for natural biological membranes.
