Probing lipid membrane bending mechanics using gold nanorod tracking
Mehdi Molaei, Sreeja Kutti Kandy, Zachary T. Graber +3
Lipid bilayer membranes undergo rapid bending undulations with wavelengths from tens of nanometers to tens of microns due to thermal fluctuations. Here, we probe such undulations a…

Curvature-driven migration of colloids on lipid bilayers
Ningwei Li, Nima Sharifi-Mood, Fuquan Tu +4
Colloids and proteins alike can bind to lipid bilayers and move laterally in these two-dimensional fluids. Inspired by proteins that generate membrane curvature, sense the underlyi…
