Abstract
⺠Distinctin forms rapidly ion channels selective toward inorganic cations in lipid monolayers. ⺠Distinctin is adsorbed on lipid bilayers in the form of aggregates. ⺠Distinctin ion channels in lipid bilayers are formed by nucleation and growth of embedded monomers. ⺠Distinctin molecules must partition between the two sides of a lipid bilayer in order to form ion channels.
