TMEM16 scramblases thin the membrane to enable lipid scrambling

Lipid scrambling is required for many cellular processes but the lipid-protein interactions that occur during transport are unknown. Using cryoEM and biochemical assays the authors show that membrane thinning is critical for lipid flipping.
