Abstract:Continuum or hybrid modeling of bilayer membrane morphological dynamics induced by embedded proteins necessitates the identification of proteinmembrane interfaces and coupling of deformations of two surfaces. In this article we developed (i) a minimal total geodesic curvature model to describe these interfaces, and (ii) a numerical one-one mapping between two surface through a conformal mapping of each surface to the common middle annulus. Our work provides the first computational tractable approach for determ… Show more
