A Membrane-Disruptive Action of VBIT-4 Challenges Its Role as a Widely Used VDAC Oligomerization Inhibitor

VDAC is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane and a key regulator of metabolite exchange and mitochondrial physiology.

VDAC is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane and a key regulator of metabolite exchange and mitochondrial physiology. Its oligomerization has been proposed to control processes such as mitochondrial DNA release and membrane remodeling, yet the underlying…
