Solid domains in lipid vesicles and scars
– The free energy of a crystalline domain coexisting with a liquid phase on a spherical vesicle may be approximated by an elastic or stretching energy and a line tension term. The stretching energy generally grows as the area of the domain, while the line tension term grows with its perimeter. We show that if the crystalline domain contains defect arrays consisting of finite length grain bounda...
متن کاملPore Formation in the Stretched Lipid Vesicles
In this paper I have studied the transbilayer pore formation in a stretched lipid vesicle. The pore appearance in spherical bilayers is a process more intricate then in plane lipid bilayers. Here we have studied the influence of the elastic stretching of the membrane on the pore appearance. A minimum value of the spherical surface extension corresponding to a membrane stretching is required in ...
متن کاملInclusion-induced boundary layers in lipid vesicles.
The equilibrium shapes of lipid vesicles are perturbed by rigid inclusions. In a two-dimensional vesicle, that may also model a cylindrically elongated tubule, the shape modifications can be determined analytically, and turn out to be significant even far from the inclusion. On the contrary, previous numerical work has given evidence that in the three-dimensional case the shape perturbations de...
متن کاملMobility of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid vesicles.
BR* has been the subject of a wide variety of biophysical studies. Particular attractions are its ease of preparation in pure form, the availability of much structural information and its intrinsic chromophore, which facilitates a range of spectroscopic investigations (for review, see Stoeckenius et al., 1979). We have used BR to investigate various aspects of protein diffusion in membranes. In...
متن کاملPolymer-induced tubulation in lipid vesicles.
A mechanism of extraction of tubular membranes from a lipid vesicle is presented. A concentration gradient of anchoring amphiphilic polymers generates tubes from budlike vesicle protrusions. We explain this mechanism in the framework of the Canham-Helfrich model. The energy profile is analytically calculated and a tube with a fixed length, corresponding to an energy minimum, is obtained in a ce...
