What 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 کاملVesicle fusion with bilayer lipid membrane controlled by electrostatic interaction
The fusion of proteoliposomes is a promising approach for incorporating membrane proteins in artificial lipid membranes. In this study, we employed an electrostatic interaction between vesicles and supported bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs) to control the fusion process. We combined large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) containing anionic lipids, which we used instead of proteoliposomes, and s-BLMs...
متن کاملInteraction between two cylindrical inclusions in a symmetric lipid bilayer
We calculate the membrane-mediated interaction between two cylindrical inclusions in a symmetric lipid bilayer. Our theory takes two contributions to the free energy into account, the elastic behavior of the membrane and the conformational restrictions that the flexible hydrocarbon chains of the lipids experience in the vicinity of a rigid inclusion. The description of the elastic behavior is b...
متن کاملLong-Range Interaction Forces between Polymer-Supported Lipid Bilayer Membranes.
Much of the short-range forces and structures of softly supported DMPC bilayers has been described previously. However, one interesting feature of the measured force-distance profile that remained unexplained is the presence of a long-range exponentially decaying repulsive force that is not observed between rigidly supported bilayers on solid mica substrate surfaces. This observation is discuss...
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...
