The order-disorder transition in model lipid bilayers is a first-order hexatic to liquid phase transition
Shachi Katira, Kranthi K. Mandadapu, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan +2
We characterize the order-disorder transition in a model lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the ordered phase is hexatic. In particular, in-plane stru…
Pre-transition effects mediate forces of assembly between transmembrane proteins
Shachi Katira, Kranthi K. Mandadapu, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan +2
We present a mechanism for a generic and powerful force of assembly and mobility for transmembrane proteins in lipid bilayers. This force is a pre-transition (or pre-melting) effec…
Mechanics of torque generation in the bacterial flagellar motor
Kranthi K. Mandadapu, Jasmine A. Nirody, Richard M. Berry +1
The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is responsible for driving bacterial locomotion and chemotaxis, fundamental processes in pathogenesis and biofilm formation. In the BFM, torque…
