Microscopic simulation of membrane molecule diffusion on corralled membrane surfaces.
The current understanding of how receptors diffuse and cluster in the plasma membrane is limited. Data from single-particle tracking and laser tweezer experiments have suggested that membrane molecule diffusion is affected by the presence of barriers dividing the membrane into corrals. Here, we have developed a stochastic spatial model to simulate the effect of corrals on the diffusion of molec...

The current understanding of how receptors diffuse and cluster in the plasma membrane is limited. Data from single particle tracking and laser tweezer experiments have suggested that membrane diffusion is affected by the presence of barriers dividing the membrane into corrals. Herein, we have developed a stochastic, spatial model to simulate the effect of corrals on the diffusion of receptors i...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Non-Uniform Gas Diffusion Layer Porosity Effect on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Performance
Gas diffusion layers are essential components of proton exchange membrane fuel cell since the reactants should pass through these layers. Mass transport in these layers is highly dependent on porosity. Many of simulations have assumed, for simplicity, the porosity of GDL is constant, but in practice, there is a considerable variation in porosity along gas diffusion layers. In the present study ...
متن کاملElectrodiffusion of lipids on membrane surfaces.
Lateral translocation of lipids and proteins is a universal process on membrane surfaces. Local aggregation or organization of lipids and proteins can be induced when the random lateral motion is mediated by the electrostatic interactions and membrane curvature. Although the lateral diffusion rates of lipids on membranes of various compositions are measured and the electrostatic free energies o...
متن کاملEffect of Membrane Potential on Lateral Diffusion
The rate of appearance , in a populat ion of mouse-human heterokaryons , of cells with intermixed mouse and human surface antigens may be used to estimate the rate of lateral diffusion of the antigens in a single cell. Most he terokaryons appear to restrict diffusion of their surface antigens. These restrictions are altered by exposing either he terokaryons or their parent cells to conditions t...
