Coordination of bilayer properties by an inward-rectifier K+ channel is a cooperative process driven by protein-lipid interaction

Physical properties of biological membranes directly or indirectly govern biological processes. Yet, the interplay between membrane and integral membrane proteins is difficult to assess due to reciprocal effects between membrane proteins, individual lipids, and membrane architecture. Using solid-state NMR (SSNMR) we previously showed that KirBac1.1, a bacterial Inward-Rectifier K
