On the effect of applied lateral tension on the deformation energetics of biological membranes and the lipid dynamics within
Yein Christina Park, Giacomo Fiorin, José D. Faraldo‐Gómez
MARTINI 2.2 simulations show lateral tension changes the free energies of membrane bending and thickness deformations through a projected-area term (γΔΔA), while leaving lipid mixing, residence and exchange essentially unchanged.
