Nucleation of symmetric domains in the coupled leaflets of a bilayer

JJ Williamson, PD Olmsted - Soft Matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
We study the kinetics governing the attainment of inter-leaflet domain symmetry in a phase-
separating amphiphilic bilayer.“Indirect” inter-leaflet coupling via hydrophobic mismatch can …

Kinetics of symmetry and asymmetry in a phase-separating bilayer membrane

JJ Williamson, PD Olmsted - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We simulate a phase-separating bilayer in which the leaflets experience a direct coupling
favoring local compositional symmetry (“registered” bilayer phases), and an indirect …
