Studies of membrane proteins have revealed a direct link between the lipid environment and
the structure and function of some of these proteins. Although some of these effects involve …

A fluid lipid membrane transmits stresses and torques that are fully determined by its
geometry. They can be described by a stress-and torque-tensor, respectively, which yield …

Abstract Membrane remodelling,,,, plays an important role in cellular tasks such as
endocytosis, vesiculation and protein sorting, and in the biogenesis of organelles such as …

Symmetry-breaking transitions associated with the buckling and folding of curved
multilayered surfaces—which are common to a wide range of systems and processes such …

Abstract Proteins containing a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain regulate membrane
curvature in the cell. Recent simulations have revealed that BAR proteins assemble into …

Motivated by the motion of biopolymers and membranes in solution, this article presents a
formulation of the equations of motion for curves and surfaces in a viscous fluid. The focus is …

Cholera toxin B-subunit (CTxB) has emerged as one of the most widely utilized tools in
membrane biology and biophysics. CTxB is a homopentameric stable protein that binds …

The interplay of membrane proteins is vital for many biological processes, such as cellular
transport, cell division, and signal transduction between nerve cells. Theoretical …
