Budding dynamics of multicomponent tubular vesicles.
Real-time budding dynamics of multicomponent, tubular lipid vesicles was investigated. By using a fluorescence microscope, three typical growth modes of the buds were observed, corresponding, respectively, to bud growth through coalescence between flat patches, a bud and a patch, as well as that of two buds. The spatial and temporal scales measured in the observation were used to estimate the b...
متن کاملCritical dynamics in multicomponent lipid membranes.
The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in multicomponent lipid membranes both in vivo and in vitro lie at the heart of many important biological and biophysical phenomena. While the thermodynamic basis for domain formation has been explored extensively in the past, the roles of membrane and exterior fluid hydrodynamics on domain formation kinetics have received l...
متن کاملStability of MultiComponent Biological Membranes
Equilibrium equations and stability conditions are derived for a general class of multicomponent biological membranes. The analysis is based on a generalized Helfrich energy that accounts for geometry through the stretch and curvature, the composition, and the interaction between geometry and composition. The use of nonclassical differential operators and related integral theorems in conjunctio...
متن کاملAdhesion of multicomponent vesicle membranes.
In this work, we study the adhesion of multicomponent vesicle membrane to both flat and curved substrates, based on the conventional Helfrich bending energy for multicomponent vesicles and adhesion potentials of different forms. A phase field formulation is used to describe the different components of the vesicle. For the axisymmetric case, a number of representative equilibrium vesicle shapes ...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of the dynamics of multicomponent vesicles: Spinodal decomposition, coarsening, budding, and fission.
We develop a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model to simulate the dynamics of multicomponent vesicles. The model accounts for bending stiffness, spontaneous curvature, excess (surface) energy, and a line tension between the coexisting surface phases. Our approach is similar to that recently used by Wang and Du [J. Math. Biol. 56, 347 (2008)] with a key difference. Here, we concentrate...
