Elastic moderation of intrinsically applied tension in lipid membranes.
Tension in lipid membranes is often controlled externally, by pulling on the boundary of the membrane or changing osmotic pressure across a curved membrane. But modifications of the tension can also be induced in an internal fashion, for instance as a byproduct of changing a membrane's electric potential or, as observed experimentally, by activity of membrane proteins. Here we develop a theory ...
متن کاملUndulation instability of lipid membranes under an electric field.
The influence of an external electric field on a poorly conductive membrane such as a lipid bilayer is studied theoretically. The unbalanced electric stress created by an ionic current across a non-perfectly flat membrane gives rise to a destabilizing surface energy enhancing undulations. The deformation of a membrane attached to a frame is derived and the electrohydrodynamic instability of a f...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولContinuous polyelectrolyte adsorption under an applied electric potential.
Interactions between charged macromolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, polyelectrolytes) and charged surfaces govern many natural and industrial processes. We investigate here the influence of an applied electric potential on the adsorption of charged polymers, and report the following significant result: the adsorption of certain amine side chain-containing polycations may become continuo...
متن کاملReduction in Tension and Stiffening of Lipid Membranes in an Electric Field Revealed by X-Ray Scattering.
The effect of ac electric fields on the elasticity of supported lipid bilayers is investigated at the microscopic level using grazing incidence synchrotron x-ray scattering. A strong decrease in the membrane tension up to 1 mN/m and a dramatic increase of its effective rigidity up to 300 k_{B}T are observed for local electric potentials seen by the membrane ≲1 V. The experimental results are...
