Direct Cell Extraction of Membrane Proteins for Structure-Function Analysis
Membrane proteins are the largest group of therapeutic targets in a variety of disease areas and yet, they remain particularly difficult to investigate. We have developed a novel one-step approach for the incorporation of membrane proteins directly from cells into lipid Salipro nanoparticles. Here, with the pannexin1 channel as a case study, we demonstrate the applicability of this method for structurefunction analysis using SPR and cryo-EM.
