A FORTRAN IV algorithm is given for determining the hydrodynamic parameters of a macromolecule in solution for any specified value ofthe two axial ratios (a/b, D/c) ofthe equivalent triaxial ellipsoid model of semi-axes a > b > c for its gross conformafion. Ellipsoid model Axial ratios Elliptic integrals Myoglobin I . I N T R O D U C T I O N The ellipsoid of revolution (i.e. an ellipsoid with t...

We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity, hydrodynamic flows, and the ever present thermal fluctuations leads to a rich phenomenology. In linear flows with both rotational and elongational components, the properties of the tank-treading and tumbling motions are now wel...
