Model plasma membrane indicates the inner leaflet is poised to initiate compositional heterogeneities
H. Giang, M. Schick
We investigate a model of an asymmetric bilayer consisting of sphigomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol in the outer leaflet, and phosphatidyl\-ethanolamine, (PE), phospha…
Membrane Heterogeneity: Manifestation of a Curvature-Induced Microemulsion
M. Schick
To explain the appearance of heterogeneities in the plasma membrane, I propose a hypothesis which begins with the observation that fluctuations in the membrane curvature are couple…
Ionic effects on the electric field needed to orient dielectric lamellae
Gregory Garbès Putzel, David Andelman, Yoav Tsori +1
We consider the effect of mobile ions on the applied potential needed to reorient a lamellar system of two different materials placed between two planar electrodes. The reorientati…
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…
