游动压力诱导的囊泡形状变化

Shape Transformations of Vesicles induced by Swim Pressure

Yao Li, Pieter Rein ten Wolde

摘要:

虽然囊泡在热力学平衡中的行为已经被广泛研究,但主动力如何控制囊泡形状转变还不清楚。在这里,我们结合理论和模拟来研究含有活性布朗粒子的囊泡的形状行为。我们发现,结合积极的力量,维数和膜弯曲自由能创造了过多的新颖的相变。在低的游泳压力,囊泡表现出不连续的过渡,从一个球形到一个长形的形状,这在两个维度上没有对应的。在高的游泳压力,它表现出随机的时空振荡。我们的工作有助于理解和控制活性物质系统中膜的形状动力学。

英文摘要:

While the behavior of vesicles in thermodynamic equilibrium has been studied extensively, how active forces control vesicle shape transformations is not understood. Here, we combine theory and simulations to study the shape behavior of vesicles containing active Brownian particles. We show that the combination of active forces, dimensionality and membrane bending free energy creates a plethora of novel phase transitions. At low swim pressure, the vesicle exhibits a discontinuous transition from a spherical to a prolate shape, which has no counterpart in two dimensions. At high swim pressure it exhibits stochastic spatio-temporal oscillations. Our work helps to understand and control the shape dynamics of membranes in active-matter systems.
