Curvature-Driven Lipid Sorting in a Membrane Tubule
Hongyuan Jiang and Thomas R. Powers
Motivated by recent experiments that implicate the mechanical properties of membranes in lipid sorting, we examine the interplay of lipid composition and curvature in membrane tubules. We study how the coupling between membrane composition and membrane bending stiffness and tension affects tubule fo ... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 018103 (2008)] published Thu Jul 3, 2008.
