| Method |
Researchers measure the mean number
of MscL channels per cell under various culturing conditions using
quantitative Western blots and single-molecule calibrated fluorescence
microscopy. |
| Comments |
It is
commonly noted that the value of t1/2 (the tension where Popen= 0.5), determined from
electrophysiological measurements, is very close to the tension
when a typical membrane ruptures in the range between 1 and
3 kBT/nm2. |
