Dependence of the energies of fusion on the intermembrane separation: optimal and constrained

J. Y. Lee, M. Schick

We calculate the characteristic energies of fusion between planar bilayers as afunction of the distance between them, measured from the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface of one of…

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…

Self-Consistent-Field Study of the Alignment by an Electric Field of a Cylindrical Phase of Block Copolymer

Chin-Yet Lin, M. Schick

Self-Consistent Field Theory is applied to a film of cylindrical-forming block copolymer subject to a surface field which tends to align the cylinders parallel to electrical plates…

Phase diagram of a ternary mixture of cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated lipids calculated from a microscopic model

R. Elliott, I. Szleifer, M. Schick

We employ a molecular model to study a ternary mixture of saturated lipid, with tails of sixteen carbons, a mono unsaturated lipid with tails of eighteen carbons, and cholesterol.…

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…

Structural changes of diblock copolymer melts due to an external electric field: a self-consistent field theory study

Chin-Yet Lin, Michael Schick, David Andelman

We study the phase behavior of diblock copolymers in presence of an external electric field. We employ self-consistent field theory and treat the relevant Maxwell equation as an ad…
