Dynamics of non-equilibrium membrane bud formation | | Pierre Sens
; | | Date: |
8 Apr 2003 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter; Subcellular Processes | cond-mat.soft q-bio.SC | | Abstract: | The dynamical response of a lipid membrane to a local perturbation of its molecular symmetry is investigated theoretically. A density asymmetry between the two membrane leaflets is predominantly released by in-plane lipid diffusion or membrane curvature, depending upon the spatial extent of the perturbation. It may result in the formation of non-equilibrium structures (buds), for which a dynamical size selection is observed. A preferred size in the micrometer range is predicted, as a signature of the crossover between membrane and solvent dominated dynamical membrane response. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0304188 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
