Droplet Interface Bilayers for Mechano-Electrical Transduction Featuring Bacterial MscL Channels

This dissertation investigates the behavior of the Escherichia Coli mechanosensitive (MS) channel MscL, when incorporated within a droplet interface bilayer (DIB). The activity of MscL channels in an artificial DIB system is demonstrated for the first time in this document. The DIB represents a buil...
