Trans-Membrane Area Asymmetry Controls the Shape of Cellular Organelles

Trans-Membrane Area Asymmetry Controls the Shape of Cellular Organelles

Membrane organelles often have complicated shapes and differ in their volume, surface area and membrane curvature. The ratio between the surface area of the cytosolic and luminal leaflets (trans-membrane area asymmetry (TAA)) determines the membrane curvature within different sites of the organelle....
