The Minimum Energy Path to Membrane Pore Formation and Rupture
We combine dynamic self-consistent field theory with the string method to calculate the minimum energy path to membrane pore formation and rupture. In the regime where nucleation can occur on experimentally relevant time scales, the structure of the critical nucleus is between a solvophilic stalk and a locally thinned membrane. Classical nucleation theory fails to capture these molecular detail...

متن کاملNuclear Envelope: Membrane Bending for Pore Formation?
Membrane-shaping proteins known as reticulons help to sculpt the endoplasmic reticulum; recent findings indicate that they also play a role in the formation of nuclear-pore-complex-associated pores in the nuclear envelope.
متن کاملThe Minimum Energy Expenditure Shortest Path Method
This article discusses the addition of an energy parameter to the shortest path execution process; namely, the energy expenditure by a character during execution of the path. Given a simple environment in which a character has the ability to perform actions related to locomotion, such as walking and stair stepping, current techniques execute the shortest path based on the length of the extracte...
متن کاملTracing the minimum-energy path on the free-energy surface.
The free-energy profile of a reaction can be estimated in a molecular-dynamics approach by imposing a mechanical constraint along a reaction coordinate (RC). Many recent studies have shown that the temperature can greatly influence the path followed by the reactants. Here, we propose a practical way to construct the minimum-energy path directly on the free-energy surface at a given temperature....
