The influence of curvature on membrane domains
Abstract
An interdependence between local curvature and domain formation has been observed in both cell and model membranes. An implication of this observation is that domain formation in model membranes may be modulated by membrane curvature. In this paper, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used to examine the influence of membrane curvature (i.e., vesicle size) on the formation of membrane domains. It is found that, although vesicle size and …
