Morphodynamics of Active Nematic Fluid Surfaces
Sami C. Al-Izzi, Richard G. Morris
Morphodynamic equations governing the behaviour of active nematic fluids on deformable curved surfaces are constructed in the large deformation limit. Emphasis is placed on the for…
Solvated Membrane Nanodiscoids: A Probe For The Effects Of Gaussian Curvature
R. G. Morris, T. R. Dafforn, M. S. Turner
Several methods now exist to solvate lipid bilayer discoids at the scale of tens of nanometres. Due to their size, such nanodiscoids have a comparatively large boundary-to-area rat…
Covariant Active Hydrodynamics of Shape-Changing Epithelial Monolayers
Richard G. Morris, Madan Rao
During the early-stages of embryo development, morphogenesis--- the emergence of shape and form in living organisms--- is almost exclusively associated with monolayers of tightly b…
Mobility Measurements Probe Conformational Changes in Membrane Proteins due to Tension
Richard G. Morris, Matthew S. Turner
The function of membrane-embedded proteins such as ion channels depends crucially on their conformation. We demonstrate how conformational changes in asymmetric membrane proteins m…
Relaxation and curvature-induced molecular flows within multicomponent membranes
Richard G. Morris
The quantitative understanding of membranes is still rooted in work performed in the 1970s by Helfrich and others, concerning amphiphilic bilayers. However, most biological membran…
Dynamical description of vesicle growth and shape change
Richard G. Morris, Duccio Fanelli, Alan J. McKane
We systematize and extend the description of vesicle growth and shape change using linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics. By restricting the study to shape changes from spheres to a…
Stability of growing vesicles
Richard G. Morris, Alan J. McKane
We investigate the stability of growing vesicles using the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The vesicles are growing due to the accretion of lipids to the bilayer which…
