Crystalline Protein Domains and Lipid Bilayer Vesicle Shape Transformations

Cellular membranes can take on a variety of shapes to assist biological processes including endocytosis. Membrane-associated protein domains provide a possible mechanism for determining membrane curvature. We study the effect of tethered streptavidin protein crystals on the curvature of giant unilam...
