Abstract: To change conformation, a protein must deform the surrounding bilayer. In this work, a three-dimensional continuum elastic model for gramicidin A in a lipid bilayer is shown to describe the sensitivity to thickness, curvature stress,… read more here.

Abstract: Lipid nanodiscs are nanometric bilayer patches enveloped by confining structures, commonly composed of membrane scaffolding proteins (MSPs). To resolve the interplay between MSP geometry, lipid confinement, and membrane material properties on the nanodisc shape, we… read more here.
