Mesoscale computational studies of membrane bilayer remodeling by curvature-inducing proteins
N. Ramakrishnan, P. B. Sunil Kumar, Ravi Radhakrishnan
Biological membranes constitute boundaries of cells and cell organelles. Physico-chemical mechanisms at the atomic scale are dictated by protein-lipid interaction strength, lipid c…
Application of a Free Energy Landscape Approach to Study Tension Dependent Bilayer Tubulation Mediated by Curvature Inducing Proteins
Richard W. Tourdot, N. Ramakrishnan, Tobias Baumgart +1
We investigate the phenomenon of protein induced tubulation of lipid bilayer membranes within a continuum framework using Monte Carlo simulations coupled with the Widom insertion t…
Defining the Free-Energy Landscape of Curvature-Inducing Proteins on Membrane Bilayers
Richard W. Tourdot, N. Ramakrishnan, Ravi Radhakrishnan
Curvature-sensing and curvature-remodeling proteins are known to reshape cell membranes, and this remodeling event is essential for key biophysical processes such as tubulation, ex…
Thermodynamic Free Energy Methods to Investigate Shape Transitions In Bilayer Membranes
N. Ramakrishnan, Richard W. Tourdot, Ravi Radhakrishnan
The conformational free energy landscape of a system is a fundamental thermodynamic quantity of importance particularly in the study of soft matter and biological systems, in which…
