Domain aggregation and associated pore growth in lipid membranes by Liu, Yue, Zou, Guijin, Gao, Huajian

“…Recent experiments have shown that certain molecular agents can selectively penetrate and aggregate in bacterial lipid membranes, leading to their permeability and rupture. To help reveal and understand the underlying mechanisms, here we establish a theory to show that the deformation energy of the membrane tends to limit the growth of molecular domains on a lipid membrane, resulting in a characteristic domain size, and that the domain aggregation significantly reduces the energy barrier to pore growth. …”
