Flexoelectricity and elasticity of asymmetric biomembranes.
In view of the well-established charge and dipolar asymmetry of the two leaflets of a native membrane, the theory of flexoelectricity (and curvature elasticity) is extended to take into account this asymmetry using linear and nonlinear forms of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The results are discussed with respect to data from atomic force microscopy studies of electromotility in biomembranes.
متن کاملMorphological and Physical Analysis of Natural Phospholipids-Based Biomembranes
BACKGROUND Liposomes are currently an important part of biological, pharmaceutical, medical and nutritional research, as they are considered to be among the most effective carriers for the introduction of various types of bioactive agents into target cells. SCOPE OF REVIEW In this work, we study the lipid organization and mechanical properties of biomembranes made of marine and plant phosphol...
متن کاملAsymmetric distribution of phospholipids in the inner membrane of beef heart mitochondria.
The transversal distribution of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and cardiolipin in the inner membrane of beef heart mitochondria was investigated. Highly purified “right-side-out” (mitoplasts) and “inside-out” (submitochondrial particles) membranes were used, permitting the independent study of the phospholipid composition on either half of the membrane. Three independent, and pa...
متن کاملATP-dependent asymmetric distribution of spin-labeled phospholipids in the erythrocyte membrane: relation to shape changes.
Spin-labeled analogs of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine have been used to study phospholipid transverse diffusion and asymmetry in the human erythrocyte membrane. Ascorbate reduction was used to assess the transbilayer distribution of the labels. All three spin-labeled phospholipids initially incorporated into the outer leaflet of the membrane. On fresh ery...
متن کاملFinite element approximation for the dynamics of asymmetric fluidic biomembranes
We present a parametric finite element approximation of a fluidic membrane, whose evolution is governed by a surface Navier–Stokes equation coupled to bulk Navier–Stokes equations. The elastic properties of the membrane are modelled with the help of curvature energies of Willmore and Helfrich type. Forces stemming from these energies act on the surface fluid, together with a forcing from the bu...
