Abstract

(Figure Presented) Controlling the context: A novel strategy for the in vitro expression and immediate post-translational membrane insertion of complex membrane proteins into an artificial membrane system is described. In this way problems are circumvented that arise when complex membrane proteins are overexpressed, detergent-solubilized, and subsequently reconstituted into suitable artificial membrane systems for biophysical characterization. GPCR = G-protein coupled receptor.
