Molecular mechanisms of spontaneous curvature and softening in complex lipid bilayer mixtures
[article]
2022
bioRxiv
pre-print
We identify two mechanisms of bilayer softening: Diffusional softening, which is driven by the dynamic coupling between lipid distributions and membrane undulations, and conformational softening, which ...

Assembly of Lipid Bilayers in Large Scaffold Arrays
2010
Biophysical Journal
Using a combination of all-atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to interpret a range of x-ray scattering experiments, we aim to understand the role of membrane deformation in the action ...
Our simulation results have led to the hypothesis that aS flattens curved membranes by screening the repulsive interactions between negatively charged, acidic headgroups, thereby reducing the effective ...
This tendency of flip-flop motions is strongly correlated with the relative positions of the lipids to the bilayer membranes: CHOL stays almost at the center of the membrane, whereas the head group of ...

Calcium ions promote membrane fusion by forming negative-curvature inducing clusters on specific anionic lipids
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
This allows us to trace the origin of lipid-calcium selectivity in membrane fusion to the formation of lipid clusters with long-range correlations that induce negative curvature on the membrane surface ...
We show how the combined effects of calcium binding to membranes lower the barriers along the fusion pathway that lead to the formation of the fusion stalk as well as the fusion pore. ...
