Blocked Lipid Exchange in Bilayers and its Possible Influence on the Shape of Vesicles

Open access
Helfrich, W·1974·Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C

Abstract

The role of lipid exchange in the curvature elasticity of bilayers is studied theoretically. Blocking of exchange between the monolayers may give rise to a nonequilibrium lipid distribution going hand in hand with a spontaneous curvature. Some possible consequences for vesicular deformations are discussed. Lipid nonequilibrium is tentatively suggest as one possible cause for certain shape transformations of red blood cells

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.
