Finsler Geometry Modeling of Phase Separation in Multi-Component Membranes
A Finsler geometric surface model is studied as a coarse-grained model for membranes of three components, such as zwitterionic phospholipid (DOPC), lipid (DPPC) and an organic molecule (cholesterol). To understand the phase separation of liquid-ordered (DPPC rich) Lo and liquid-disordered (DOPC rich) Ld, we introduce a binary variable σ(= ±1) into the triangulated surface model. We numerically ...
متن کاملOrientation Asymmetric Surface Model for Membranes: Finsler Geometry Modeling
We study triangulated surface models with nontrivial surface metrices for membranes. The surface model is defined by a mapping r from a two-dimensional parameter space M to the three-dimensional Euclidean space R3. The metric variable gab, which is always fixed to the Euclidean metric δab, can be extended to a more general non-Euclidean metric on M in the continuous model. The problem we focus ...
متن کاملDynamics of Phase Separation in Confined Two-component Fluid Membranes
We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, being consist...
متن کاملGeometry of phase separation.
We study the domain geometry during spinodal decomposition of a 50:50 binary mixture in two dimensions. Extending arguments developed to treat nonconserved coarsening, we obtain approximate analytic results for the distribution of domain areas and perimeters during the dynamics. The main approximation is to regard the interfaces separating domains as moving independently. While this is true in ...
متن کاملPhase separation in lipid membranes.
Cell membranes show complex behavior, in part because of the large number of different components that interact with each other in different ways. One aspect of this complex behavior is lateral organization of components on a range of spatial scales. We found that lipid-only mixtures can model the range of size scales, from approximately 2 nm up to microns. Furthermore, the size of compositiona...
