Interaction of lipid domains originating from differential domain-monolayer contact energy We consider a flat membrane containing monolayer lipid domains separated in the membrane plane. We assume the partial energy of contact between a domain and the underlying monolayer to be different from that between the two regular membrane monolayers.

AbstractMembrane sculpting by caveolin and accessory proteins is crucial for caveola formation. The discovery of the disc-like structure of caveolin oligomers has challenged earlier models for membrane shaping by caveolins. The flat shape of the caveolin discs apparently contradicts the large curvature of caveolar membranes these discs generate upon their predicted embedding into the cytoplasmic membrane leaflet. Here we have provided a mechanism for this phenomenon.
