The Effect of Vesicle Shape, Line Tension, and Lateral Tension on Membrane-Binding Proteins
Model membranes allow for the exploration of complex biological phenomena with simple, controllable components. In this thesis we employ model membranes to determine the effect of vesicle properties such as line tension, lateral tension, and shape on membrane-binding proteins. We find that line tens...
