Best Answer

One great strategy to tackle difficulties in membrane protein crystallization is our bicelle-protein crystallization technique. Bicelles are small bilayer disks formed in lipid/amphiphile mixtures, into which membrane proteins can be incorporated. At low temperature, bicelle-forming lipid/amphiphile mixtures are not viscous, but they tend to develop a gel-like consistency at higher temperatures. Thus, with bicelle forming lipid/amphiphile mixtures it is possible to access a variety of lipid bilayer structures simply by varying temperature.

What is a membrane protein?

A trans-membrane protein is - as the name implies (trans = across in latin) - a protein, which crosses a biological membrane, such as the outer cell membrane or the mitochondrial membrane. Three examples of important trans-membrane proteins are: the Na/K-ATPase, P-glycoprotein, and the insulin receptor.
