Flexible String Model of Unsaturated Lipid Bilayer
Boris Kheyfets, Sergei Mukhin
An analytically solvable model of unsaturated lipid bilayer is derived by introducing finite bending angle of the unsaturated bond relative to straight part of the lipid chain cons…
Microscopic Description of Thermodynamics of Lipid Membrane at Liquid-Gel Phase Transition
Boris Kheyfets, Timur Galimzyanov, Sergei Mukhin
A microscopic model of the lipid membrane is constructed that provides analytically tractable description of the physical mechanism of the first order liquid-gel phase transition.…
Area per Lipid in DPPC-Cholesterol Bilayers:Analytical Approach
B. B. Kheyfets, S. I. Mukhin
Area per molecule in a DPPC-Cholesterol bilayers depends non-linearly on the cholesterol concentration. Using flexible strings model of lipid membranes we calculate area per molecu…
Pore formation phase diagrams for lipid membranes
S. I. Mukhin, B. B. Kheyfets
Critical lateral pressure for a pore formation and phase diagram of porous membrane are derived analytically as functions of the microscopic parameters of the lipid chains. The der…
