Molecular Decomposition of the Area Compressibility Modulus of Lipid Membranes
Konstantin V. Pinigin
The area compressibility modulus is a key descriptor of lipid membrane mechanics, but the molecular interactions that determine this elasticity are not evident from the total modul…
Local Mechanical Response of Lipid Membranes to Tilt Deformation
Konstantin V. Pinigin
Using molecular dynamics, this study investigates the local elastic properties of transverse shear deformation of lipid membranes. The analysis demonstrates that transverse shear d…
Local stress in cylindrically curved lipid membrane: insights into local versus global lateral fluidity models
Konstantin V. Pinigin
Lipid membranes, fundamental to cellular function, undergo various mechanical deformations. Accurate modeling of these processes necessitates a thorough understanding of membrane e…
Determination of Elastic Parameters of Lipid Membranes with Molecular Dynamics: A Review of Approaches and Theoretical Aspects
Konstantin V. Pinigin
Lipid membranes are abundant in living organisms, where they constitute a surrounding shell for cells and their organelles. There are many circumstances in which the deformations o…
Local stress and elastic properties of lipid membranes obtained from elastic energy variation
Maksim A. Kalutsky, Timur R. Galimzyanov, Konstantin V. Pinigin
A theory and computational method are provided for the calculation of lipid membranes elastic parameters, which overcomes the difficulties of the existing approaches and can be app…
Additional contributions to elastic energy of lipid membranes: Tilt-curvature coupling and curvature gradient
Konstantin V. Pinigin, Peter I. Kuzmin, Sergey A. Akimov +1
Lipid bilayer membranes are flexible thin laterally fluid films consisting of two unimolecular layers of lipids. On spatial scales much larger than the bilayer thickness, the membr…
