Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
Marcus Mueller, Kirill Katsov, Michael Schick
We discuss the role coarse-grained models play in the investigation of the structure and thermodynamics of bilayer membranes, and we place them in the context of alternative approa…
Field Theoretic Study of Bilayer Membrane Fusion: II. Mechanism of a Stalk-Hole Complex
Kirill Katsov, Marcus Mueller, Michael Schick
We use self-consistent field theory to determine structural and energetic properties of intermediates and transition states involved in bilayer membrane fusion. In particular, we e…
The central role of line tension in the fusion of biological membranes
M. Schick, K. Katsov, M. Mueller
Recent progress in the fusion of biological membranes is reviewed to highlight the central role played by the line tension, which permits exquisite control of the process.
Phase Separation of Saturated and Mono-unsaturated Lipids as determined from a Microscopic Model
R. Elliott, K. Katsov, M. Schick +1
A molecular model is proposed of a bilayer consisting of fully saturated DPPC and mono unsaturated DOPC. The model not only encompasses the constant density within the hydrophobic…
Field theoretic study of bilayer membrane fusion: I. Hemifusion mechanism
Kirill Katsov, Marcus Mueller, Michael Schick
Self-consistent field theory is used to determine structural and energetic properties of metastable intermediates and unstable transition states involved in the standard stalk mech…
A New Mechanism of Model Membrane Fusion Determined from Monte Carlo Simulation
M. Mueller, K. Katsov, M. Schick
We have carried out extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the fusion of tense apposed bilayers formed by amphiphilic molecules within the framework of a coarse grained lattice model…
