Highly curved bilayer lipid membranes make up the shell of many intra- and extracellular compartments, including organelles and vesicles. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we show that increasing the density of lipids in the bilayer membrane can induce the membrane to form a curved shape.
高度弯曲的双层脂质膜构成了许多细胞内和细胞外区室的外壳,包括细胞器和囊泡。通过全原子分子动力学模拟,我们表明增加双层膜中脂质的密度可以诱导膜形成弯曲形状。
