Physical aspects of heterogeneities in multi-component lipid membranes.
Ever since the raft model for biomembranes has been proposed, the traditional view of biomembranes based on the fluid-mosaic model has been altered. In the raft model, dynamical heterogeneities in multi-component lipid bilayers play an essential role. Focusing on the lateral phase separation of biomembranes and vesicles, we review some of the most relevant research conducted over the last decad...
متن کاملElectrical aspects of lipid membranes
This thesis contains four studies of the electrical aspects of lipid membranes. In the first study we present data of ion currents through planar lipid bilayers. We demonstrate that the conduction takes place via quantised events that under certain conditions exhibit a strong dependence on the applied electric potential. It is further demonstrated that both the life time of such events and the ...
متن کاملModelling and Simulations of Multi-component Lipid Membranes and Open Membranes via Diffusive Interface Approaches∗
In this paper, phase field models are developed for multi-component vesicle membranes with different lipid compositions and membranes with free boundary. These models are used to simulate the deformation of membranes under the elastic bending energy and the line tension energy with prescribed volume and surface area constraints. By comparing our numerical simulations with recent experiments, it...

Diffuse interface (phase field) models are developed for multi-component vesicle membranes with different lipid compositions and membranes with free boundary. These models are used to simulate the deformation of membranes under the elastic bending energy and the line tension energy with prescribed volume and surface area constraints. By comparing our numerical simulations with recent biological...
متن کاملModeling the lipid component of membranes.
During the past several years, there have been a number of advances in the computational and theoretical modeling of lipid bilayer structural and dynamical properties. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have increased in length and time scales by about an order of magnitude. MD simulations continue to be applied to more complex systems, including mixed bilayers and bilayer self-assembly. A cri...
