Poisson’s Ratio and Young’s Modulus of Lipid Bilayers in Different Phases
A general computational method is introduced to estimate the Poisson's ratio for membranes with small thickness. In this method, the Poisson's ratio is calculated by utilizing a rescaling of inter-particle distances in one lateral direction under periodic boundary conditions. As an example for the coarse grained lipid model introduced by Lenz and Schmid, we calculate the Poisson's ratio in the ...
متن کاملOn defects in different phases of two-dimensional lipid bilayers
2014 The phospholipid bilayer is the basic structure of biological membranes as well as a suitable model of a two-dimensional system. Defects within these bilayers are studied electron microscopically by application of the freeze fracture method Topological and non-topological defects can be distinguished The first type is analysed in terms of the homotopy theory. Two defect systems, an Abelian...
متن کاملStructure of symmetric and asymmetric "ripple" phases in lipid bilayers.
We reproduce the symmetric and asymmetric "rippled" P(beta') states of lipid membranes by Monte Carlo simulations of a coarse-grained molecular model for lipid-solvent mixtures. The structure and properties compare favorably with experiments. The asymmetric ripple state is characterized by a periodic array of fully interdigitated "defect" lines. The symmetric ripple state maintains a bilayer st...
متن کاملCalculating the Bending Modulus for Multicomponent Lipid Membranes in Different Thermodynamic Phases
We establish a computational approach to extract the bending modulus, KC , for lipid membranes from relatively small-scale molecular simulations. Fluctuations in the splay of individual pairs of lipids faithfully inform on KC in multicomponent membranes over a large range of rigidities in different thermodynamic phases. Predictions are validated by experiments even where the standard spectral a...
