In intact mitochondria, mCK octamers form a single membrane-parallel layer in which they are tightly coupled to the outer and inner membranes, as well as to each other. On membrane fragments in which there is no compression of the intermembrane space, the supramolecular mCK clusters are organized differently: they form two layers in which there are fewer contacts with the membrane, but more protein–protein contacts. In addition, bilayer clusters generally lack curvature and are larger in size, which is indicative of their increased rigidity and possible role in stabilizing the membrane when it is damaged.
