Lipid bilayer and cytoskeletal interactions in a red blood cell.
We study the biomechanical interactions between the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton in a red blood cell (RBC) by developing a general framework for mesoscopic simulations. We treated the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton as two distinct components and developed a unique whole-cell model of the RBC, using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). The model is validated by comparing the predicted ...
متن کاملAn evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملImaging Lipid Microdomains in a Microfluidic Bilayer Lipid Membrane Chip
A microfluidic bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) system supporting correlated opto-electrical membrane characterization has been developed and applied to the imaging of phase-separated lipid microdomains by confocal microscopy. The device consists of a microfluidic network supporting rapid perfusion fabricated in a thermoplastic substrate, bonded to a thin PVDC partition and supported by a thin cove...
متن کاملWhat is the surface tension of a lipid bilayer membrane?
In a recent paper in this journal, Chiu et al. (1995) presented a molecular dynamics study of a planar lipid bilayer membrane in water with the explicit incorporation of a surface tension. Parallel to the membrane plane, a negative pressure of-100 atmospheres was applied, derived from the measured surface tension of a monolayer at an air/water interface. The same approach was put forward by Fel...
متن کاملUndulation instability in a bilayer lipid membrane due to electric field interaction with lipid dipoles.
Bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are an essential component of all biological systems, forming a functional barrier for cells and organelles from the surrounding environment. The lipid molecules that form membranes contain both permanent and induced dipoles, and an electric field can induce the formation of pores when the transverse field is sufficiently strong (electroporation). Here, a phenomen...
