Lipid membranes, enveloping all living systems, are of crucial importance, and control over their structure and composition is a highly desirable functionality of artificial structures. However, the rational design of protein-inspired systems is still challenging. Here we have developed a highly functional nucleic acid construct that self-assembles and inserts into membranes, enabling lipid transfer between inner and outer leaflets. By designing the structure to account for interactions between ...[more]
