Non-linear Conductance, Rectification, and Mechanosensitive Channel Formation of Lipid Membranes
There is mounting evidence that lipid bilayers display conductive properties. However, when interpreting the electrical response of biological membranes to voltage changes, they are commonly considered as inert insulators. Lipid bilayers under voltage-clamp conditions display current traces with dis...
