Functional reconstitution of a voltage-gated potassium channel in giant unilamellar vesicles.

Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in cellular excitability. Recent studies suggest that their behavior can depend strongly on the membrane lipid composition and physical state. In vivo studies of membrane/channel and channel/channel interactions are challenging as membrane properties are ac...
