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.

Elastic moderation of intrinsically applied tension in lipid membranes [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 83, 011913 (2011), 2010 Tension in lipid membranes is often controlled externally, by pulling on the boundary of the membrane or changing osmotic pressure across a curved membrane. But modifications of the tension can also be induced in an internal fashion, for instance as a byproduct of changing a membranes electric potential or, as observed experimentally, by activity of ...

JHEP 0905:047,2009, 2009 By placing a collection of membranes in 11 dimensional background supergravity six form field and considering the non-linear action of multiple membranes we obtain the potential for transverse scalar fields of membranes and study some possible vacuum configurations.

Entropy-driven aggregation in multilamellar membranes [PDF]
EPL 102, 68001 (2013), 2013 Membrane-fluctuation-induced attraction between ligand--receptor sites binding neighboring membranes is studied using meshless membrane simulations and the Weil--Farago two-dimensional lattice model. For the adhesion sites binding two membranes, this entropic interaction is too weak by itself for the adhesion sites to form a large stable domain ...

Electrically Conductive Diamond Membrane for Electrochemical Separation Processes [PDF]
ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2016, 2018 Electrochemically switchable selective membranes play an important role in selective filtration processes such as water desalination, industrial waste treatment and hemodialysis. Currently, membranes for these purposes need to be optimized in terms of electrical conductivity and stability against fouling and corrosion.

Probing the membrane potential of living cells by dielectric spectroscopy [PDF]
Eur. Biophys. J (2009), 2008 In this paper we demonstrate a quantitative way to measure the membrane potential of live cells by dielectric spectroscopy. We also show that the values of the membrane potential obtained using our technique are in good agreement with those obtained using traditional methods-voltage sensitive dyes.

Feedback-controlled solute transport through chemo-responsive polymer membranes [PDF]
, 2022 Polymer membranes are typically assumed to be inert and nonresponsive to the flux and density of the permeating particles in transport processes. Here, we study theoretically the consequences of membrane responsiveness and feedback on the steady-state force--flux relations and membrane permeability using a nonlinear-feedback solution-diffusion model of

Lateral phase separation of confined membranes [PDF]
, 2010 We consider membranes interacting via short, intermediate and long stickers. The effects of the intermediate stickers on the lateral phase separation of the membranes are studied via mean-field approximation. The critical potential depth of the stickers increases in the presence of the intermediate sticker.

Effective zero-thickness model for a conductive membrane driven by an electric field [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E, 81, 031912 (2010), 2009 The behavior of a conductive membrane in a static (DC) electric field is investigated theoretically. An effective zero-thickness model is constructed based on a Robin-type boundary condition for the electric potential at the membrane, originally developed for electrochemical systems.

DMInet: An Accurate and Highly Flexible Deep Learning Framework for Drug Membrane Interaction with Membrane Selectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Drug membrane interaction is a very significant bioprocess to consider in drug discovery. Here, we propose a novel deep learning framework coined DMInet to study drug-membrane interactions that leverages large-scale Martini coarse-grained molecular simulations of permeation of drug-like molecules across six different lipid membranes.
