Membrane-induced interactions between curvature-generating protein domains: the role of area perturbation
Membrane deformation by asymmetric crescent-shaped proteins such as BAR-domains is calculated, using a mean field model that accounts for both bending and area stretch deformations. The penalties associated with membrane bending and area perturbation lead to moderately long-ranged (order 10 nm), non...
