Nonequilibrium adhesion patterns at lipid bilayer junctions

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to examine adhesion between simple lipid membranes using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and fluorescence interference contrast microscopy (FLIC) to map the interfacial topography. Using these techniques, it is probed that the nonequilibrium "blister" structures, hundreds of nanometers in height, can form at the otherwise few nanometer-spaced junctions between simple lipid bilayers.

Mechanical properties of surfactant bilayer membranes from atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations

Article Abstract:

Simulations are used to predict the stability and mechanical properties of two amphiphilic bilayer membranes. Atomistic MD simulations are carried out to investigate whether it is possible to use an existing coarse-grained (CG) surfactant model to map the membrane properties.
