Custom Vector Construction> | A cDNA fragment, coding for Lysenin (GenBank: BAA21518.1, GenScript, USA) and cloned into pET28a vector at BamHI and Hind III, and this vector transformed into BL21 (DE3) strain (New England BioLabs France, Evry, France). | Get A Quote |
Many functions of the plasma membrane depend critically on its structure and dynamics. Observation of anomalous diffusion in vivo and in vitro using fluorescence microscopy and single particle tracking has advanced our concept of the membrane from a homogeneous fluid bilayer with freely diffusing proteins to a highly organized crowded and clustered mosaic of lipids and proteins. Unfortunately, anomalous diffusion could not be related to local molecular details given the lack of direct and unlabeled molecular observation capabilities. Here, we use high-speed atomic force microscopy and a novel analysis methodology to analyze the pore forming protein lysenin in a highly crowded environment and document coexis... More
