Despite the important role of membrane proteins in biological function and physiology, studying them remains challenging because of limited biomimetic systems for the protein to remain in its native membrane environment. Cryo electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) is emerging as a powerful tool for analyzing the structure of membrane proteins. However, Cryo-EM and other membrane protein analyses are better studied in a native lipid bilayer.
