  • Model-membrane-based lipid transfer assays and methods
    Patent number: 11740235
    Abstract: An assay system for measuring transfer of lipid from a donor model biomembrane to an acceptor model biomembrane generally includes a donor model biomembrane that has a lipid with a detectable label, a lipid transfer protein that specifically binds the detectable lipid, and an acceptor model biomembrane. At least one of the donor model biomembrane and the acceptor model biomembrane is a bicelle-dilution model membrane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
