纳米尺度下的双层弹性:需要新术语

Bilayer elasticity at the nanoscale: the need for new terms

Anne-Florence Bitbol, Doru Constantin, Jean-Baptiste Fournier

摘要:

连续弹性模型,占膜厚度的变化是特别有用的纳米级的变形,由于存在的膜蛋白与疏水性错配的描述。我们表明,涉及的梯度和每脂质的面积的拉普拉斯算子的条款是显着的,必须保留在膜的有效哈密顿。我们重新分析最近的数值数据,以及短杆菌肽通道的实验数据,根据我们的模型。该分析对于源自每个分子的面积梯度的项产生一致的结果。我们发现相关振幅的数量级,即13-60 mN/m,与水和膜的疏水部分之间的界面张力的25 mN/m贡献非常一致。这个术语的存在解释了以前发表的数值数据中的系统变化。

英文摘要:

Continuum elastic models that account for membrane thickness variations are especially useful in the description of nanoscale deformations due to the presence of membrane proteins with hydrophobic mismatch. We show that terms involving the gradient and the Laplacian of the area per lipid are significant and must be retained in the effective Hamiltonian of the membrane. We reanalyze recent numerical data, as well as experimental data on gramicidin channels, in light of our model. This analysis yields consistent results for the term stemming from the gradient of the area per molecule. The order of magnitude we find for the associated amplitude, namely 13-60 mN/m, is in good agreement with the 25 mN/m contribution of the interfacial tension between water and the hydrophobic part of the membrane. The presence of this term explains a systematic variation in previously published numerical data.
