Applying a potential across a biomembrane: electrostatic contribution to the bending rigidity and membrane instability
Tobias Ambjornsson, Michael A. Lomholt, Per Lyngs Hansen
We investigate the effect on biomembrane mechanical properties due to the presence an external potential for a non-conductive non-compressible membrane surrounded by different elec…
Fluctuation spectrum of quasispherical membranes with force-dipole activity
Michael A. Lomholt
The fluctuation spectrum of a quasi-spherical vesicle with active membrane proteins is calculated. The activity of the proteins is modeled as the proteins pushing on their surround…
Mechanics of non-planar membranes with force-dipole activity
Michael A. Lomholt
A study is made of how active membrane proteins can modify the long wavelength mechanics of fluid membranes. The activity of the proteins is modelled as disturbing the protein surr…
Optimal target search on a fast folding polymer chain with volume exchange
Michael A. Lomholt, Tobias Ambjornsson, Ralf Metzler
We study the search process of a target on a rapidly folding polymer (`DNA') by an ensemble of particles (`proteins'), whose search combines 1D diffusion along the chain, Levy type…
Descriptions of membrane mechanics from microscopic and effective two-dimensional perspectives
Michael A. Lomholt, Ling Miao
Mechanics of fluid membranes may be described in terms of the concepts of mechanical deformations and stresses, or in terms of mechanical free-energy functions. In this paper, each…
A General Theory of Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Lipid-protein Fluid Membranes
Michael A. Lomholt, Per L. Hansen, Ling Miao
We present a general and systematic theory of non-equilibrium dynamics of multi-component fluid membranes, in general, and membranes containing transmembrane proteins, in particula…
