Statistical Theory of Lipid Membrane Conductivity and Stability Regulated by Membrane-Deforming Inclusions and External Fields
The formation of pores in bilayer lipid membranes is a key process in many biomedical and biotechnological applications. Pores are usually formed as a result of external influences, such as an electric field, lateral tension, or amphipathic peptides. The average characteristics of the pore formation process are deter...
