Lipid-mediated prestin organization in outer hair cell membranes and its implications in sound amplification
Prestin, a motor protein, plays a major role in sound amplification. Using molecular dynamics simulations, the authors show that prestin causes membrane deformation patterns thereby achieving a particular lipid-mediated alignment in the membrane.
