Article Synopsis
- Adaptive self-assembly of supramolecular protein structures is crucial for dynamic living matter, but monitoring the formation of larger protein complexes from smaller precursors is challenging.
- This study introduces a short membrane nanotube (sNT) as a tool for detecting and manipulating protein oligomerization by measuring changes in ionic conductivity due to protein interactions.
- The researchers used rigid oligoamide foldamer tapes (ROFTs) to facilitate protein binding and shuttling between membranes, demonstrating that these nanotubes can effectively track the assembly of proteins like Annexin-V into complex structures.
