N-body Study of Anisotropic Membrane Inclusions: Membrane Mediated Interactions and Ordered Aggregation
We study the collective behavior of inclusions inducing local anisotropic curvatures in a flexible fluid membrane. The N-body interaction energy for general anisotropic inclusions is calculated explicitly, including multi-body interactions. Long-range attractive interactions between inclusions are found to be sufficiently strong to induce aggregation. Monte Carlo simulations show a transition f...
متن کاملInteractions between Membrane Inclusions on Fluctuating Membranes
We model membrane proteins as anisotropic objects characterized by symmetric-traceless tensors and determine the coupling between these orderparameters and membrane curvature. We consider the interactions 1) between transmembrane proteins that respect up-down (reflection) symmetry of bilayer membranes and that have circular or non-circular cross-sectional areas in the tangent-plane of membranes...
متن کاملMembrane-Induced Interactions between Inclusions
The properties of membranes containing inclusions, such as proteins or colloidal particles, are calculated as a function of the bilayer interfacial energy and bending coefficients. We find that the inclusion-imposed perturbation leads to damped oscillations in the membrane profile and, hence, to nonmonotonic shortranged, membrane-induced interactions between inclusions. The preferred spacing be...
متن کاملEffect of protein shape on multibody interactions between membrane inclusions.
The elastic interaction of membrane inclusions provides one of the simplest physical realizations of multibody forces. Here we show how the cross-sectional shape of the inclusion greatly changes the character of the interaction, and illustrates a pattern formation mechanism. The formalism provides a transparent framework for modeling bilayer-inclusion boundary effects on the multibody interaction.
متن کاملRapid Note Free energy of closed membrane with anisotropic inclusions
Phospholipid membrane forming a closed surface and decorated with anisotropic inclusions is considered. The inclusions are free to redistribute laterally over the membrane and to orient in the plane of the membrane according to the local membrane curvature. A phenomenological expression for the energy of the interaction between an inclusion and local curvature of the surrounding membrane is pro...
