Lipid bilayer deformation and the free energy of interaction of a Kv channel gating−modifier toxin

A number of membrane proteins act via binding at the water/lipid bilayer interface. An important example of such proteins is provided by the gating-modifier toxins that act on voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels. They are thought to partition to the headgroup region of lipid bilayers, and so provi...
