Softening in two-component lipid mixtures by spontaneous curvature variance

A. Hossein, A. H. Beaven, K. C. Sapp, A. J. Sodt

This study shows that variance in curvature sensitivity of lipids affects membrane stiffness, with coarse-grained models showing greater softening due to clustering.

Dynamic cholesterol redistribution favors membrane fusion pore constriction

A. H. Beaven, K. C. Sapp, A. J. Sodt

The paper shows cholesterol exclusion from fusion pore necks due to negative curvature, promoting pore closure.

Molecular mechanisms of spontaneous curvature and softening in complex lipid bilayer mixtures

H. J. Lessen, K. C. Sapp, A. H. Beaven, R. Ashkar, A. J. Sodt

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to test assumptions about lipid curvature and bilayer mechanics, finding non-additive curvature preferences and two mechanisms of bilayer softening.

The spatial extent of a single lipid's influence on bilayer mechanics

K. C. Sapp, A. H. Beaven, A. J. Sodt

The paper quantifies the spatial influence of individual lipids on membrane mechanics, finding that saturated lipids have non-local effects with maximal interaction strength at a finite length-scale.
