Hydrodynamic trapping measures the interaction between membrane-associated molecules

Abstract:

How membrane proteins distribute and behave on the surface of cells depends on the molecules’ chemical potential. However, measuring this potential, and how it varies with protein-to-protein distance, has been challenging. Here, we present a method we call hydrodynamic trapping that can achieve this. Our method uses the focused liquid flow from a micropipette to locally accumulate molecules protruding above a lipid membrane. The chemical potential, as well as information about the dimensions ...
