耦合调制双层膜中的浓度涨落和相变

Concentration fluctuations and phase transitions in coupled modulated bilayers

Yuichi Hirose, Shigeyuki Komura, David Andelman

摘要:

我们考虑在饱和和混合脂质组成的脂质双层中形成有限大小的结构域。首先,我们描述了一个单层模型,其中包括一个组成标量场和一个二维矢量序参量之间的耦合。这种耦合产生了一个有效的二维微乳液自由能的脂质单层,其特征长度的组成调制可以被认为是起源的生物膜中的有限大小的域。接下来,我们考虑由两个调制的单层膜组成的耦合双层膜,并讨论在转变温度以上的浓度波动的静态和动态特性。我们还研究了相变温度以下的微相分离,并将相变温度以上的微相分离结构与静态和动态的浓度波动进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We consider the formation of finite-size domains in lipid bilayers consisting of saturated and hybrid lipids. First, we describe a monolayer model that includes a coupling between a compositional scalar field and a two-dimensional vectorial order-parameter. Such a coupling yields an effective two-dimensional microemulsion free-energy for the lipid monolayer, and its characteristic length of compositional modulations can be considered as the origin of finite-size domains in biological membranes. Next, we consider a coupled bilayer composed of two modulated monolayers, and discuss the static and dynamic properties of concentration fluctuations above the transition temperature. We also investigate the micro-phase separation below the transition temperature, and compare the micro-phase separated structures with statics and dynamics of concentration fluctuations above the transition.
