摘要: We have measured the effect of tension on dimerization kinetics channel-forming peptide gramicidin A. By aspirating large unilamellar vesicles into a micropipette electrode, we are able to simultaneously monitor membrane and electrical activity. find that dimer formation rate increases by factor 5 as ranges from 0 4 dyn/cm. The lifetime also with tension. This behavior is well described phenomenological model elasticity in which modulates mismatch thickness between membrane.
