Mapping and modeling the nanomechanics of bare and protein-coated lipid nanotubes

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Guillaume Lamour and colleagues from the CEA, Université Paris-Saclay, Evry-Courcouronnes, France have published the article: Mapping and Modeling the Nanomechanics of Bare and Protein-Coated Lipid Nanotubes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 13/09/2019
• what: The authors develop a new platform to study this local mechanics using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The authors show that the parabolic shape of force-displacement curves results from thermal fluctuations of the membrane that collides intermittently with the AFM tip. The authors demonstrate the potential of the technique to elucidate membrane-protein interactions by polymerizing . . .
