Fluctuation spectra of free and supported membrane pairs [PDF]

European Physical Journal E 23, 103-116 (2007), 2006
Fluctuation spectra of fluid compound membrane systems are calculated. The systems addressed contain two (or more) almost parallel membranes that are connected by harmonic tethers or by a continuous, harmonic confining potential. Additionally, such a compound system can be attached to a supporting substrate.

Dynamics of membranes driven by actin polymerization [PDF]

, 2005
A motile cell, when stimulated, shows a dramatic increase in the activity of its membrane, manifested by the appearance of dynamic membrane structures such as lamellipodia, filopodia and membrane ruffles. The external stimulus turns on membrane bound activators, like Cdc42 and PIP2, which cause increased branching and polymerization of the actin ...

Protein-induced membrane curvature changes membrane tension [PDF]

, 2014
Adsorption of proteins onto membranes can alter the local membrane curvature. This phenomenon has been observed in biological processes such as endocytosis, tubulation and vesiculation. However, it is not clear how the local surface properties of the membrane, such as membrane tension, change in response to protein adsorption.

Fluoropolymer Membranes for Membrane Distillation and Membrane Crystallization

Polymers, 2022
Fluoropolymer membranes are applied in membrane operations such as membrane distillation and membrane crystallization where hydrophobic porous membranes act as a physical barrier separating two phases. Due to their hydrophobic nature, only gaseous molecules are allowed to pass through the membrane and are collected on the permeate side, while the ...

Proton Conducting Organic-Inorganic Composite Membranes for All-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery

Membranes, 2023
The quest for a cost-effective, chemically-inert, robust and proton conducting membrane for flow batteries is at its paramount. Perfluorinated membranes suffer severe electrolyte diffusion, whereas conductivity and dimensional stability in engineered ...

Membrane Systems with Marked Membranes [PDF]

Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2007
Membrane computing is a biologically inspired computational paradigm. Motivated by brane calculi we investigate membrane systems which differ from conventional membrane systems by the following features: (1) biomolecules (proteins) can move through the regions of the systems, and can attach onto (and de-attach from) membranes, and (2 ...
