Nonequilibrium noise and instabilities in membranes with active pumps
Tóm tắt
We study the statistical properties and dynamics of flexible fluid membranes containing active transmembrane proteins and find that such active membranes can be either stable or unstable to small disturbances, depending on the signs of certain crucial parameters characterising the protein-membrane interaction. A major finding is that the shape-fluctuation spectrum in the stable case for a zero-tension active membrane has the same form over a large range of length scales as at equilibrium, but with a nonequilibrium “noise temperature” determined by the activity.

More precisely, it means that we cannot on symmetry grounds rule out such a structural asymmetry and must therefore allow for it
This instability is independent of the equilibrium instability of two-component membranes [11]
