Read moreWhat happens inside a membrane
Little is known about how the proteins forming ion channels - the 'pores' on the cell membrane - change when they open and close, especially the portion that is 'embedded' in the membrane. Scientists have invented a method, based on the combined and innovative use of known techniques, which allowed them to observe in detail a specific membrane protein and its structural changes.
