Lipid Bilayer Composition Affects Transmembrane Protein Orientation and Function

Figure 1

SEM micrograph of typical proteoliposomes. These proteoliposomes were made by high pressure nitrogen filtration, fixed on polished carbon planchettes with OsO4, dried, sputter coated with 15 nm argon, and viewed using a Hitachi S-570 Scanning Electron Microscope. The dotted scale bar across the bottom represents 860 nm. Arrow indicates typical liposome.
