DNA-Lipid Nanodiscs with a Polyethylene Glycol Interface

Soumya Chandrasekhar, Christopher Maffeo, Sanjai Karanth, Rachel Bricker, Joy Kabuga, Diana P. N. Gonçalves, Aleksei Aksimentiev, Thorsten L. Schmidt

This paper introduces DNA-Lipid Nanodiscs (DLNs) with a PEG interface to study membrane proteins and lipid bilayers, showing effective shielding of hydrophobic mismatch through PEG-lipid interactions.
