Phase diagrams and lipid domains in multicomponent lipid bilayer mixtures.
Understanding the phase behavior of biological membranes is helped by the study of more simple systems. Model membranes that have as few as 3 components exhibit complex phase behavior that can be well described, providing insight for biological membranes. A number of different studies are in agreement on general findings for some compositional phase diagrams, in particular, those that model the...
متن کاملPhase diagrams of mesomorphic mixtures
2014 We have combined the Maier Saupe theory [1] of the nematic-isotropic transition and the Flory Huggins theory of mixtures to describe the phase diagrams of two nematogens A + B. The two components can have different order parameters SA, SB in the mixture. We can then predict the morphology of the phase diagrams in term of a relatively small number (4) of interaction parameters. The final nu...
متن کاملFluorescence methods to detect phase boundaries in lipid bilayer mixtures.
Phase diagrams of lipid mixtures can show several different regions of phase coexistence, which include liquid-disordered, liquid-ordered, and gel phases. Some phase regions are small, and some have sharp boundaries. The identity of the phases, their location in composition space, and the nature of the transitions between the phases are important for understanding the behavior of lipid mixtures...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal phase diagrams of binary mixtures of hard spherocylinders.
We have built the liquid crystal phase diagram of several binary mixtures of freely rotating hard spherocylinders employing a second-order virial density functional theory with Parsons scaling, suitably generalized to deal with mixtures and smectic phases. The components have the same diameter and aspect ratio of moderate value, typical of many mesogens. Attention has been paid to smectic-smect...
متن کاملPhase diagrams of binary mixtures of oppositely charged colloids.
Phase diagrams of binary mixtures of oppositely charged colloids are calculated theoretically. The proposed mean-field-like formalism interpolates between the limits of a hard-sphere system at high temperatures and the colloidal crystals which minimize Madelung-like energy sums at low temperatures. Comparison with computer simulations of an equimolar mixture of oppositely charged, equally sized...
