Reconstitution of Membrane Proteins07:05

Reconstitution of Membrane Proteins

Reconstitution is the process of returning an isolated biomolecule to its original form or function. This is particularly useful for studying membrane proteins, which enable important cellular functions and affect the behavior of nearby lipids. To study the function of purified membrane proteins in situ, they must be reconstituted by integrating them into an artificial lipid membrane.
This video introduces membrane protein reconstitution concepts and related procedures, such as protein...
