Modeling Membrane Curvature Generation due to Membrane–Protein Interactions

Modeling Membrane Curvature Generation due to Membrane–Protein Interactions

To alter and adjust the shape of the plasma membrane, cells harness various mechanisms of curvature generation. Many of these curvature generation mechanisms rely on the interactions between peripheral membrane proteins, integral membrane proteins, and lipids in the bilayer membrane. Mathematical an...
