Two-Dimensional Fluctuating Vesicles in Linear Shear Flow
Reimar Finken, Antonio Lamura, Udo Seifert +1
The stochastic motion of a two-dimensional vesicle in linear shear flow is studied at finite temperature. In the limit of small deformations from a circle, Langevin-type equations…
Swinging and tumbling of elastic capsules in shear flow
S. Kessler, R. Finken, U. Seifert
The deformation of an elastic micro-capsule in an infinite shear flow is studied numerically using a spectral method. The shape of the capsule and the hydrodynamic flow field are e…
Concise theory of chiral lipid membranes
Z. C. Tu, U. Seifert
A theory of chiral lipid membranes is proposed on the basis of a concise free energy density which includes the contributions of the bending and the surface tension of membranes, a…
Fluctuation spectra of free and supported membrane pairs
Rolf-Juergen Merath, Udo Seifert
Fluctuation spectra of fluid compound membrane systems are calculated. The systems addressed contain two (or more) almost parallel membranes that are connected by harmonic tethers…
Lateral diffusion of a protein on a fluctuating membrane
E. Reister, U. Seifert
Measurements of lateral diffusion of proteins in a membrane typically assume that the movement of the protein occurs in a flat plane. Real membranes, however, are subject to therma…
Periodically driven stochastic un- and refolding transitions of biopolymers
O. Braun, U. Seifert
Mechanical single molecule experiments probe the energy profile of biomolecules. We show that in the case of a profile with two minima (like folded/unfolded) periodic driving leads…
