Abstract

The bacterial mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS) is a well-studied model of how mechanical forces from the membrane can be sensed by an embedded protein. A recent study by Zhang et al. visualizes how MscS behaves under membrane tension, entering a desensitized state when it loses all coordinated lipids.
