Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins : does the topology and the stored curvature elastic stress of lipid bilayers regulate membrane-association and lipid abstraction?

Lipids in a bilayer determine the stresses and the topology of the membrane they form. An understanding of the link between lipid composition and biomechanical parameters such as the spontaneous curvature and bending rigidity is key to elucidate the mechanisms behind protein‐membrane interactions. D...
