Some Properties of Membranes in Nematic Solvents
The fluctuation spectrum of membranes in nematic solvents is altered by the boundary condition imposed on the bulk nematic director by the curved membrane. We discuss some properties of single and multi-membrane systems in nematic solvents, primarily based on the Berreman-de Genne8 model. We show that: membranes in nematic solvents are more rigid and less rough than in their isotropic counterpa...
متن کاملmembranes/D2-branes in a curved background
We present a three dimensional novel massive N = 2 super Yang-Mills action as a low energy effective worldvolume description of the D2-branes on a pp-wave. The action contains the Myers term, mass terms for three Higgs, and terms mixing the electric fields with other two Higgs. We derive the action in three different ways, from the M-theory matrix model, from the supermembrane action, and from ...
متن کاملGeneral Solution for the Stresses in a Curved Membrane.
where the comma denotes the covariant derivative, the general tensorial solution for a flat space of n dimensions has been known for some time.2 For a curved space, such as an ordinary two-dimensional surface, a solution in tensorial form is not known, though various special results are available.3 In a penetrating memoir, L. Finzi4 has exploited the long recognized similarity between the forms...
متن کاملIrreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes.
The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intramembrane lipid flow, intramembrane phase transitions, and protein binding and diffusion is studied. The forms of the entropy production for the irreversible processes are obtained, and the corresponding thermodynamic for...
متن کاملFtsZ Constriction Force - Curved Protofilaments Bending Membranes.
FtsZ assembles in vitro into protofilaments (pfs) that are one subunit thick and ~50 subunits long. In vivo these pfs assemble further into the Z ring, which, along with accessory division proteins, constricts to divide the cell. We have reconstituted Z rings in liposomes in vitro, using pure FtsZ that was modified with a membrane targeting sequence to directly bind the membrane. This FtsZ-mts ...
