Characterizing the nanoscale dynamic organization within lipid bilayer membranes is
central to our understanding of cell membranes at a molecular level. We investigate phase …

Lipid rafts serve as anchoring platforms for membrane proteins. Thus far they escaped direct
observation by light microscopy due to their small size. Here we used differently colored …

Lipid bilayer membranes under biologically relevant conditions are flexible thin laterally fluid
films consisting of two unimolecular layers (monolayers) each about 2 nm thick. On spatial …

Phase separation in biological membranes plays an important role in protein targeting and
transmembrane signaling. Its occurrence in both membrane leaflets commonly gives rise to …

Galimzyanov et al. Reply: Our recent Letter [1] challenges the concept that domains in
opposing membrane leaflets are in registe Page 1 Galimzyanov et al. Reply: Our recent Letter …

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 …

Since the existence of lateral organisation in the cell membrane was first proposed by Erwin
London in 1997, much has been discovered about the complex behaviour of lipid bilayers …
