Curvature-driven molecular flows on membrane surfaces
Michael Mikucki, Y. C. Zhou
Morphological change of bilayer membrane in vivo is not a spontaneous procedure but modulated by various types of proteins in general. Most of these modulations are associated with…

Fast Algorithm for Simulating Lipid Vesicle Deformation I: Spherical Harmonic Approximation
Michael Mikucki, Y. C. Zhou
Lipid vesicles appear ubiquitously in biological systems. Understanding how the mechanical and intermolecular interations deform vesicle membrane is a fundamental question in bioph…

Electrostatic forces on charged surfaces of bilayer lipid membranes
Michael Mikucki, Y. C. Zhou
Simulating protein-membrane interactions is an important and dynamic area of research. A proper definition of electrostatic forces on membrane surfaces is necessary for developing…
