DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.12.023
Abstract: Phase separation in biological membranes plays an important role in protein targeting and transmembrane signaling. Its occurrence in both membrane leaflets commonly gives rise to matching liquid or liquid-ordered domains in the opposing monolayers. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.100.032413
Abstract: We formulate a simple effective model to describe molecular interactions in a lipid monolayer and calculate the line tension between coexisting domains. The model represents lipid molecules in terms of two-dimensional anisotropic particles on the… read more here.
