Online now! Monitoring the conformational ensemble and lipid environment of a mechanosensitive channel under cyclodextrin-induced membrane tension dlvr.it/T4SZK6

In our latest paper we monitor the entire conformational ensemble of the MscS ion channel by PELDOR/DEER under membrane tension generated by molecular means. Led by Benjamin Lane Yue (Mary) Ma Nana Yan & great Collab with Theodoros Karamanos Katrin_Ackermann @belab.bsky.social cell.com/structure/full…

A great opportunity for anyone looking for a PhD

Really nice work on the expression of an active transmembrane protein (receptor tyrosine kinase) using an eukaryotic cell-free expression system and extraction of the membrane protein from microsomes with SMA copolymer #CFPS #CellFree #SynBio nature.com/articles/s4159…

Online now! The mechanosensitive channel YbiO has a conductance equivalent to the largest gated-pore dlvr.it/THqXFM

In our recent article we show the YbiO mechanosensitive channel can achieve pore openings of 3nS under tension equalling the largest gated-pore MscL & solve EM structure of sub-open state. Great effort by Benjamin Lane Mariangela Dionysopoulou Stephen Muench Jon Lippiat cell.com/structure/full…
