- Transition Path from Two Apposed Membranes to a Stalk Obtained by a Combination of Particle Simulations and String Method Marcus Müller, Yuliya G. Smirnova, Giovanni Marelli, Marc Fuhrmans, and An-Chang Shi Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 228103 (2012) The formation of an hourglass-shaped passage (stalk) connecting two apposed membranes is an essential initial step in membrane fusion. The most probable transition path from two separate membranes to a stalk, i.e., the minimum free-energy path (MFEP), is [...]...
- Exploring thermodynamic stability of the stalk fusion-intermediate with three-dimensional self-consistent field theory calculations Kostas Ch. Daoulas, Marcus Müller Soft Matter, 9, 4097-4102 (2013) The prospects of compressible Self-Consistent Field (SCF) theory schemes for describing structures in amphiphilic membranes are illustrated by considering the thermodynamic stability of hourglass-shaped, hydrophobic connections (stalks) between apposed bilayers. The membranes are represented by a coarse-grained, solvent-free model. We represent the chain architecture [...]...
