Self-consistent Field Theory of a Lipid Monolayer
In a recent paper the authors studied the statistical trajectoryr(~) (x(v),y(v), ztlp)). For the time being mechanics of a lipid monolayer using a mathematical we only consider the hard-core steric repulsion between analogy with the quantum gas of hard disks [1]. This the chains; a long-range attraction will be added shortly. analogy had been pointed out before by Wiegel in Suppose a fraction f...
متن کاملHaematoporphyrin changes the mechanical properties of lipid bilayer membranes.
The interactions between haematoporphyrin (HP) and bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) were studied. A weak effect of HP on BLM conductivity was observed at HP concentrations ranging between 10(-6) and 3 x 10(-5) mol/l. Modulus of elasticity in the direction normal to the membrane plane (E perpendicular) and dynamic viscosity coefficient (eta) were measured, both exhibiting HP-induced decrease by 22-...
متن کاملSelf-consistent theory of polymerized membranes.
We study D-dimensional polymerized membranes embedded in d dimensions using a selfconsistent screening approximation. It is exact for large d to order 1/d, for any d to order ǫ = 4−D and for d = D. For flat physical membranes (D = 2, d = 3) it predicts a roughness exponent ζ = 0.590. For phantom membranes at the crumpling transition the size exponent is ν = 0.732. It yields identical lower crit...
متن کاملElectric field-induced critical demixing in lipid bilayer membranes.
Electric fields can induce lateral reorganization of lipids in fluid bilayer membranes. The resulting concentration profiles readily are observed in planar-supported bilayers by epifluorescence microscopy. When a fluorescently labeled lipid was used to probe the field-induced separation of cardiolipin from egg-phosphatidylcholine, an enhanced sensitivity to the electric field was observed that ...
متن کاملSelf-consistent theory of dynamic melting of a vortex lattice
The dynamic melting of vortex lattices in type II superconductors is considered. A field-theoretic formulation of the pinning problem allows a nonperturbative treatment of the influence of quenched disorder. A self-consistent theory is constructed using the diagrammatic functional method for the effective action, allowing a determination of the pinning force and the vortex fluctuations. The obt...
