Adhesion-Induced Phase Behavior of Two-Component Membranes and Vesicles
The interplay of adhesion and phase separation is studied theoretically for two-component membranes that can phase separate into two fluid phases such as liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phases. Many adhesion geometries provide two different environments for these membranes and then partition the membranes into two segments that differ in their composition. Examples are provided by adhering...
متن کاملAdhesion-induced phase behavior of multicomponent membranes.
Biomimetic membranes that contain several molecular components are studied theoretically. In contact with another surface, such as a solid substrate or another membrane, some of these intramembrane components are attracted by the second surface and, thus, act as local stickers. The cooperative behavior of these systems is characterized by the interplay of (i) attractive binding energies, (ii) e...
متن کاملPhase behavior of two-component lipid membranes: theory and experiments.
The structure of the ripple phase of phospholipid membranes remains poorly understood in spite of a large number of theoretical studies, with many experimentally established structural features of this phase unaccounted for. In this article we present a phenomenological theory of phase transitions in single- and two-component achiral lipid membranes in terms of two coupled order parameters: a s...
متن کاملAdhesion of Vesicles and Membranes
In the presence of an attractive surface, a vesicle can undergo shape transformations between two different free states, between a free and a bound state, and between two different bound states. Adhesion can also lead to topological changes such as vesicle rupture and vesicle fusion. The interaction between the vesicle membrane and the surface is renormalized by thermally excited shape fluctuat...
