Assembly pathways of anisotropic lipid membrane-deforming colloids
Ali Azadbakht, Thomas Weikl, Daniela J. Kraft
Membrane-deformation mediated interactions play an important role in the spatial organization of proteins on the cell membrane. Although interactions between isotropic membrane def…
Membrane-mediated interactions between arc-shaped particles strongly depend on membrane curvature
Francesco Bonazzi, Thomas R. Weikl
Besides direct molecular interactions, proteins and nanoparticles embedded in or adsorbed to membranes experience indirect interactions that are mediated by the membranes. These me…
Non-additivity in many-body interactions between membrane-deforming spheres increases disorder
Ali Azadbakht, Thomas R. Weikl, Daniela J. Kraft
Membrane-induced interactions have been predicted to be important for the organization of membrane proteins. Measurements of the interactions between two and three membrane deformi…
Weak carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in membrane adhesion are fuzzy and generic
Batuhan Kav, Andrea Grafmüller, Emanuel Schneck +1
Carbohydrates such as the trisaccharide motif LeX are key constituents of cell surfaces. Despite intense research, the interactions between carbohydrates of apposing cells or membr…
Membrane morphologies induced by mixtures of arc-shaped particles with opposite curvature
Francesco Bonazzi, Carol K. Hall, Thomas R. Weikl
Biological membranes are shaped by various proteins that either generate inward or outward membrane curvature. In this article, we investigate the membrane morphologies induced by…
Binding and segregation of proteins in membrane adhesion: Theory, modelling, and simulations
Thomas R. Weikl, Jinglei Hu, Batuhan Kav +1
The adhesion of biomembranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. The proteins can only bind if the separation between apposing membranes i…
