On the shift in membrane miscibility transition temperature upon addition of short-chain alcohols
M. Schick
I consider the effect of a small concentration of a molecule, such as a short-chain alcohol, on the miscibility transition temperature of a giant plasma membrane vesicle. For conce…
How cholesterol could be drawn to the cytoplasmic leaf of the plasma membrane by phosphatidylethanolamine
Ha Giang, Michael Schick
In the mammalian plasma membrane, cholesterol can translocate rapidly between the exoplasmic and cytoplasmic leaves, so that its distribution between them should be given by the eq…
Phenomenological Model and Phase Behavior of Saturated and Unsaturated Lipids and Cholesterol
Gregory Garbès Putzel, Michael Schick
We present a phenomenological theory for the phase behavior of ternary mixtures of cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated lipids, one which describes both liquid and gel phases,…
Line tensions, correlation lengths, and critical exponents in lipid membranes near critical points
Aurelia R. Honerkamp-Smith, Pietro Cicuta, Marcus D. Collins +4
Membranes containing a wide variety of ternary mixtures of high chain-melting temperature lipids, low chain-melting temperature lipids, and cholesterol undergo lateral phase separa…
Field Theoretic Study of Bilayer Membrane Fusion III: Membranes with Leaves of Different Composition
Jae Youn Lee, Michael Schick
We extend previous work on homogeneous bilayers to calculate the barriers to fusion of planar bilayers which contain two different amphiphiles, a lamellae-former and a hexagonal fo…
New mechanism of membrane fusion
M. Mueller, K. Katsov, M. Schick
We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the fusion of bilayers of single chain amphiphiles which show phase behavior similar to that of biological lipids. The fusion mechanis…
