Description

The mechanosensitive channels of large (MscL) and small (MscS) conductance act as osmosensors in bacterial cells against hypo-osmotic shock. MscL has been extensively studied by reconstitution into liposomes, however MscS has proved more difficult to reconstitute, requiring high protein-lipid ratios. We recently published an improved reconstitution method for both MscL and MscS in soy azolectin, a mixture that contains lipids, sugars and sterols. We have expanded these results and show here the effect of both individual and mixtures of lipids on the reconstitution and channel gating behaviour of co-reconstituted MscL and MscS.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
