Dissipation and detonation of shock waves in lipid monolayers
Shamit Shrivastava
Lipid interfaces not only compartmentalize but also connect different reaction centers within a cell architecture. These interfaces have well defined specific heats and compressibi…
Protons at the speed of sound: Specific biological signaling from physics
Bernhard Fichtl, Shamit Shrivastava, Matthias F. Schneider
Local changes in pH are known to significantly alter the state and activity of proteins and in particular enzymes. pH variations induced by pulses propagating along soft interfaces…
Solitary Shock Waves and Adiabatic Phase Transition in Lipid Interfaces and Nerves
Shamit Shrivastava, Kevin Heeyong Kang, Matthias F. Schneider
This study shows that the stability of solitary waves excited in a lipid monolayer near a phase boundary requires positive curvature of the adiabats, a known necessary condition in…
Evidence for 2D Solitary Sound Waves in a Lipid Controlled Interface and its Biological Implications
Shamit Shrivastava, Matthias F. Schneider
Biological membranes by virtue of their elastic properties should be capable of propagating localized perturbations analogous to sound waves. However, the existence and the possibl…
