Cholesterol Perturbs Lipid Bilayers Nonuniversally [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 Cholesterol is well known to modulate the physical properties of biomembranes. Using modern x-ray scattering methods, we have studied the effects of cholesterol on the bending modulus KC, the thickness DHH, and the orientational order parameter Sxray of lipid bilayers.

Confined Multilamellae Prefer Cylindrical Morphology [PDF]
, 2005 By evaporating a drop of lipid dispersion we generate the myelin morphology often seen in dissolving surfactant powders. We explain these puzzling nonequilibrium structures using a geometric argument: The bilayer repeat spacing increases and thus the ...

Lipid/water interface of galactolipid bilayers in different lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 In this study, carried out using computational methods, the organisation of the lipid/water interface of bilayers composed of galactolipids with both α-linolenoyl acyl chains is analysed and compared in three different lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases.

Correlated diffusion in lipid bilayers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 SignificanceDynamic processes on membrane surfaces are essential for biological function. Traditionally, quantitative measurements of lipid/protein motion have been interpreted in the framework of membrane hydrodynamics. However, some recent single-molecule tracking studies have proven difficult to interpret via hydrodynamic arguments.

Electrostatically induced undulations of lamellar DNA-lipid complexes
, 2001 We consider DNA-cationic lipid complexes that form lamellar stacks of lipid bilayers with parallel DNA strands intercalated in between. We calculate the electrostatically induced elastic deformations of the lipid bilayers.

Molecular rheometry: direct determination of viscosity in L-o and L-d lipid phases via fluorescence lifetime imaging [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding of cellular regulatory pathways that involve lipid membranes requires the detailed knowledge of their physical state and structure. However, mapping the viscosity and diffusion in the membranes of complex composition is currently a non ...
