Micrograph of GAS7 protein assembled on giant membrane vesicle. On the left is a transmission micrograph of an artificial lipid membrane (giant vesicles) used in the research. On the right is the GAS7 protein (fluorescent protein GFP is fused for observation) that oligomerizes on an artificial lipid membrane like a block (only the part has the proteins). The scale bar: 5 micrometers.
