The membrane-embedded protein rhodopsin is widely produced in organisms as a photoreceptor showing a variety of light-dependent biological functions. To investigate its molecular features, rhodopsin is often extracted from cellular membrane lipids by a suitable detergent as "micelles." The extracted protein is purified by column chromatography and then is often reconstituted into "liposomes" by removal of the detergent. The styrene-maleic acid ("SMA" copolymer spontaneously forms nanostructures containing lipids without detergent. In
