The Thermodynamics of Endosomal Escape and DNA Release from Lipoplexes
Yotam Y. Avital, Niels Grønbech-Jensen, Oded Farago
Complexes of cationic and neutral lipids and DNA (lipoplexes) are emerging as promising vectors for gene therapy applications. Their appeal stems from their non pathogenic nature a…

Small membranes under negative surface tension
Yotam Y. Avital, Oded Farago
We use computer simulations and a simple free energy model to study the response of a bilayer membrane to the application of a negative (compressive) mechanical tension. Such a ten…

Elasticity and mechanical instability of charged lipid bilayers in ionic solutions
Yotam Y. Avital, Niels Grønbech-Jensen, Oded Farago
We use coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulations to study the elastic properties of charged membranes in solutions of monovalent and pentavalent counterions. The simulation results of…
