- 06:56Results: Analysis of the Self-Assembly of Septins at the Lipid Membrane
- 08:27Conclusion
Septins are cytoskeletal proteins. They interact with lipid membranes and can sense but also generate membrane curvature at the micron scale. We describe in this protocol bottom-up in vitro methodologies for analyzing membrane deformations, curvature-sensitive septin binding, and septin filament ultrastructure.
