Membrane Association Landscape of Myelin Basic Protein Portrays Formation of the Myelin Major Dense Line

Abstract Compact myelin comprises most of the dry weight of myelin, and its insulative nature is the basis for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. The major dense line (MDL) is a 3-nm compartment between two cytoplasmic leaflets of stacked myelin membranes, mostly occupied by a myelin basic prot...
