On the role of anisotropy of membrane components in formation and stabilization of tubular structures in multicomponent membranes.

Influence of isotropic and anisotropic properties of membrane constituents (nanodomains) on formation of tubular membrane structures in two-component vesicle is numerically investigated by minimization of the free energy functional based on the deviatoric-elasticity model of the membrane. It is show...
