应力和受限膜中粘附域的形成

Formation of adhesion domains in stressed and confined membranes

Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago

摘要:

连接脂双层与下层表面的粘附键可能经历由它们之间的短程吸引势和平均力的长程波动诱导势之间的相互作用引起的缩合转变。在这里,我们使用计算机模拟的粗粒度的支持脂质双层的分子模型来研究这种转变,在封闭的膜,并在膜进行非零的表面张力。我们的研究结果表明,限制可能会改变显着的凝聚过渡的粘附键,而表面张力的应用程序有一个非常小的影响it.We还调查域的形成在膜负张力下,在自由膜,导致膜热波动的幅度增强。我们的研究结果表明,在支撑膜,这种负表面张力的波动谱的影响在很大程度上消除了由混合熵的粘合键的压力。

英文摘要:

The adhesion bonds connecting a lipid bilayer to an underlying surface may undergo a condensation transition resulting from an interplay between a short range attractive potential between them, and a long range fluctuation-induced potential of mean force. Here, we use computer simulations of a coarse-grained molecular model of supported lipid bilayers to study this transition in confined membranes, and in membranes subjected to a non-vanishing surface tension. Our results show that confinement may alter significantly the condensation transition of the adhesion bonds, whereas the application of surface tension has a very minor effect on it. We also investigate domain formation in membranes under negative tension which, in free membranes, causes enhancement of the amplitude of the membrane thermal undulations. Our results indicate that in supported membranes, this effect of a negative surface tension on the fluctuation spectrum is largely eliminated by the pressure resulting from the mixing entropy of the adhesion bonds.
