Many years of studies have established that lipids can impact membrane protein structure and function through bulk membrane effects, by direct but transient annular interactions with the bilayer-exposed surface of protein transmembrane domains, and by specific binding to protein sites. Here, we focus on how phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP<sub>2</sub>) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) impact ion channel function and how the structural details of the interactions of these lipids ...[more]
