Entropic Tension in Crowded Membranes

Figure 3

The effect of crowding on the open probability as a function of applied tension

. The graphs illustrate the ideal gas () and scaled-particle theory (SPT, ) results of table 2, using the constant tension ensemble as is appropriate for MscL. All non-crowding contributions to the gating free energy are lumped together in the gating tension .
