Dynamics of a polymer chain confined in a membrane
Sanoop Ramachandran, Shigeyuki Komura, Kazuhiko Seki +1
We present a Brownian dynamics theory with full hydrodynamics (Stokesian dynamics) for a Gaussian polymer chain embedded in a liquid membrane which is surrounded by bulk solvent an…

Hydrodynamic effects on concentration fluctuations in multicomponent membranes
Sanoop Ramachandran, Shigeyuki Komura, Kazuhiko Seki +1
We investigate the hydrodynamic effects on the dynamics of critical concentration fluctuations in multicomponent fluid membranes. Two geometrical cases are considered; (i) confined…

Lateral phase separation in mixtures of lipids and cholesterol systems
Shigeyuki Komura, Hisashi Shirotori, Peter D. Olmsted +1
In an effort to understand ``rafts'' in biological membranes, we propose phenomenological models for saturated and unsaturated lipid mixtures, and lipid-cholesterol mixtures. We co…
