Abstract excerpt
The mechanosensitive channel from Escherichia coli (Eco-MscL) responds to membrane lateral tension by opening a large, water-filled pore that serves as an osmotic safety valve. In an attempt to understand the structural dynamics of MscL in the closed state and under physiological conditions, we have performed a systematic site-directed spin labeling study of this channel reconstituted in a membrane bilayer....
