title: Utility of surface-supported bilayers in studies of transmembrane helix dimerization.
abstract: This review focuses on the methods that are available to study transmembrane (TM) helix dimerization in membrane-like environments (either bacterial membranes or lipid bilayers, as mimics of the eukaryotic cellular membrane), with an emphasis on the utility of surface-supported bilayers in such studies.
