A plethora of polymer-based scaffolds have been designed to facilitate biochemical and biophysical investigation of membrane proteins, with a common goal to stabilize and present them in a functional format. In this review, an up-to-date account of such polymer-based supports and incorporation methodologies are presented. Furthermore, conceptual and imminent technological advances, with associated technical challenges are proposed.
