Solubilization kinetics determines the pulsatory dynamics of lipid vesicles exposed to surfactant
Morgan Chabanon, Padmini Rangamani
We establish a biophysical model for the dynamics of lipid vesicles exposed to surfactants. The solubilization of the lipid membrane due to the insertion of surfactant molecules in…

Gaussian curvature directs the distribution of spontaneous curvature on bilayer membrane necks
Morgan Chabanon, Padmini Rangamani
Formation of membrane necks is crucial for fission and fusion in lipid bilayers. In this work, we seek to answer the following fundamental question: what is the relationship betwee…
