A continuum theory for lipid membranes is developed that accounts for mechanical interactions between lipid tilt and membrane shape. For planar membranes, a linear version of the theory is used to predict tilt variations similar to those observed in experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.
我们提出了一种脂质膜的连续介质理论,该理论考虑了脂质倾斜与膜形状之间的力学相互作用。对于平面膜,该理论的线性版本被用于预测类似于实验和分子动力学模拟中观察到的倾斜变化。
