A theory of mechanical stability is formulated based on the electrostatic energy density contained within a biological membrane. Stable cell shapes are taken to correspond to a minimum value for the total electrostatic energy. The theory is applied to the red blood cell, and it is shown that the normal biconcave shape indeed corresponds to the shape of minimum electrostatic energy. The results are compared with theories based on bending energy relations.
基于生物膜内所含的静电能量密度,建立了一种力学稳定性理论。稳定的细胞形状被认为对应于总静电能量的最小值。该理论应用于红细胞,结果表明正常的双凹形确实对应于静电能量最小的形状。将结果与基于弯曲能量关系的理论进行了比较。
