The Egg Carton: Theory of a Periodic Superstructure of Some Lipid Membranes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model calculation of the square membrane superstructure of some mixed lipid bilayers is presented. It involves bending elasticity of higher than quadratic order in the principal curvatures and employs Monte Carlo simulation.

Smoothening Transition of Rough Surfactant Surfaces
We propose a model for surfaces in mixtures of oil, water, and surfactants with strong electric dipoles. The dipole interactions give rise to a non-local interaction with a negative stiffness between surface elements. We show that, for large space dimension D, this model has a phase transition from rough to smooth surfaces. Contrary to models with a simple quadratic curvature energy of a positi...
متن کاملCharacterization of biophysical properties of single chloride channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane by channel incorporation into bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...
متن کاملFirst the Chicken, Then the Egg
I love eggs. Always have, and I expect I always will. Eggs are an easy, quick and inexpensive source of protein, and with my busy professional and personal life, I need protein to stay grounded. I remember when there was hype about eggs having too much cholesterol. People were cutting out eggs and resorting to some form of liquid egg in a carton. I didn’t buy into it, and continued eating my da...
متن کاملAn experimental analysis of the effects of dietary lipid sources and feeding ration on the reproductive performance, egg and larval quality of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
This study investigates the effects of dietary lipid sources on the growth and reproductive performance of Nile tilapia over three consecutive spawnings. Fish were reared using three experimental diets, with the goal of replacing dietary fish oil with palm oil. Three experimental diets and a commercial trout diet was used as the control. The effect of dietary lipid on the growth performance, ...
