A variational approach to the liquid-vapor phase transition for hardcore ions in the bulk and in nanopores
Bastien Loubet, Manoel Manghi, John Palmeri
We employ a field-theoretical variational approach to study the behavior of ionic solutions in the grand canonical ensemble. To describe properly the hardcore interactions between…
Tension moderation and fluctuation spectrum in simulated lipid membranes under an applied electric potential
Bastien Loubet, Michael Andersen Lomholt, Himanshu Khandelia
We investigate the effect of an applied electric potential on the mechanics of a coarse grained POPC bilayer under tension. The size and duration of our simulations allow for a det…
Effective tension and fluctuations in active membranes
Bastien Loubet, Udo Seifert, Michael Andersen Lomholt
We calculate the fluctuation spectrum of the shape of a lipid vesicle or cell exposed to a nonthermal source of noise. In particular we take into account constraints on the membran…
Ion pump activity generates fluctuating electrostatic forces in biomembranes
B. Loubet, M. A. Lomholt
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of lipid membranes with proteins that actively pump ions across the membrane. We find that the activity leads to a fluctuating force distribut…
Elastic moderation of intrinsically applied tension in lipid membranes
Michael A. Lomholt, Bastien Loubet, John H. Ipsen
Tension in lipid membranes is often controlled externally, by pulling on the boundary of the membrane or changing osmotic pressure across a curved membrane. But modifications of th…
