Irreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intramembrane lipid flow, intramembrane phase transitions, and protein binding and

Plasma membranes are asymmetric in lipid unsaturation, packing, and protein shape
Nature Chemical Biology, 2020 A fundamental feature of cellular plasma membranes (PMs) is an asymmetric lipid distribution between the bilayer leaflets. However, neither the detailed, comprehensive compositions of individual PM leaflets nor how these contribute to structural membrane

A possible molecular mechanism for mechanotransduction at cellular focal adhesion complexes
Biophysical Reports, 2021 Mechanotransduction at focal adhesion complexes is key for various cellular events. Theoretical analyses were performed to predict a potential role of lipid membranes in modulating mechanotransduction at focal adhesions.

Relevance of the protein macrodipole in the membrane-binding process. Interactions of fatty-acid binding proteins with cationic lipid membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The fatty acid-binding proteins L-BABP and Rep1-NCXSQ bind to anionic lipid membranes by electrostatic interactions. According to Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, the interaction of the protein macrodipole with the membrane electric field is a ...
