Stability of branched tubular membrane structures
Maike Jung, Gerhard Jung, Friederike Schmid
We study the energetics and stability of branched tubular membrane structures by computer simulations of a triangulated network model. We find that triple (Y-)junctions can be crea…
Physical mechanisms of micro- and nanodomain formation in multicomponent lipid membranes
Friederike Schmid
This article summarizes a variety of physical mechanisms proposed in the literature, which can generate micro- and nanodomains in multicomponent lipid bilayers and biomembranes. It…
Interplay of curvature-induced micro- and nanodomain structures in multicomponent lipid bilayers
Leonie Brodbek, Friederike Schmid
We discuss different mechanisms for curvature-induced domain formation in multicomponent lipid membranes and present a theoretical model that allows us to study the interplay betwe…
The Structure of Cholesterol in Lipid Rafts
Laura Toppozini, Sebastian Meinhardt, Clare L. Armstrong +4
Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano- or mesoscopic structures in the plasma membrane and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes such as signal transdu…
Computational studies of biomembrane systems: Theoretical considerations, simulation models, and applications
Markus Deserno, Kurt Kremer, Harald Paulsen +2
This chapter summarizes several approaches combining theory, simulation and experiment that aim for a better understanding of phenomena in lipid bilayers and membrane protein syste…
Fluctuations in lipid bilayers: Are they understood?
Friederike Schmid
We review recent computer simulation studies of undulating lipid bilayers. Theoretical interpretations of such fluctuating membranes are most commonly based on generalized Helfrich…
