Tubulation and Aggregation of Spherical Nanoparticles Adsorbed on Vesicles

Bahrami, Amir Houshang, Lipowsky, Reinhard, Weikl, Thomas R.·2012·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

How nanoparticles interact with biomembranes is central for understanding their bioactivity. In this Letter, we report novel tubular membrane structures induced by adsorbed spherical nanoparticles, which we obtain from energy minimization. The membrane tubules enclose linear aggregates of particles and protrude into the vesicles. The high stability of the particle-filled tubules implies strongly attractive, membrane-mediated interactions between the particles. The tubular structures may provide a new route to encapsulate nanoparticles reversibly in vesicles.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
