Yiying Wu,Guosheng Cheng,Kirill Katsov,Scott W. Sides,Jianfang Wang,Jing Tang,Glenn H. Fredrickson,Martin Moskovits,Galen D. Stucky +8 more
TL;DR: A systematic study of the confined assembly of silica–surfactant composite mesostructures within cylindrical nanochannels of varying diameters is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
TL;DR: Applications of coarse-grained models to changes of the membrane topology are illustrated with studies of membrane fusion utilizing simulations and self-consistent field theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the role of coarse-grained models in the investigation of the structure and thermodynamics of bilayer membranes, and place them in the context of alternative approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field Theoretic Study of Bilayer Membrane Fusion. I. Hemifusion Mechanism
TL;DR: The results on the architecture and tension needed for successful fusion are summarized in a phase diagram and the barrier to formation of the initial stalk is much smaller than previously estimated by phenomenological theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new mechanism of model membrane fusion determined from Monte Carlo simulation.
TL;DR: Detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the fusion of tense apposed bilayers formed by amphiphilic molecules within the framework of a coarse-grained lattice model show that both pathways give rise to mixing between the cis and trans leaves of the bilayer and allow for transient leakage.
