Electrodiffusion of lipids on membrane surfaces

Y. C. Zhou<br/> Lateral translocation of lipids and proteins is a universal process on membrane surfaces. Local aggregation or organization of lipids and proteins can be induced when the random lateral motion is mediated by the electrostatic interactions and membrane curvature. Although the lateral diffusion rates ... [J. Chem. Phys. 136, 205103 (2012)] published Fri May 25, 2012.
