Advantages and potential limitations of applying AFM kymograph analysis to pharmaceutically relevant membrane proteins in lipid bilayers

Abstract Membrane proteins play critical roles in disease and in the disposition of many pharmaceuticals. A prime example is P-glycoprotein (Pgp) which moves a diverse range of drugs across membranes and out of the cell before a therapeutic payload can be delivered. Conventional structural biology m...
