Collective membrane motions

Collective motions in membranes are in many aspects very elusive dynamical processes existing over an exceedingly broad range in correlation times and wavelengths. As a result, their manifestations in an experiment depend significantly on the characteristic timescale of the method used. Recent progr...

Description
Summary:Collective motions in membranes are in many aspects very elusive dynamical processes existing over an exceedingly broad range in correlation times and wavelengths. As a result, their manifestations in an experiment depend significantly on the characteristic timescale of the method used. Recent progress in this field concerns new experimental approaches which are sensitive over the mesoscopic range as well as molecular dynamics simulations of undulating bilayers.
