Curved inclusions surf membrane waves

摘要: In this letter we describe how membrane inclusions that have a spontaneous curvature, will be convected on the due to propagation of waves. We calculate Stokes drift such particles and effect their overall density field. solve analytically for uniform sinusoidal wave in absence diffusion, using simulations more realistic case decaying waves with diffusion. latter provide some good analytic approximations. A variety propagate over significant proportion cell surface exists living cells, therefore show they can play role transporting proteins.
