[Journal cover design.90]Lipid Membranes: Curvature Elasticity-Driven Leaflet Asymmetry and Interleaflet Raft Coupling in Supported Membranes

Journal cover design

Yong-Sang Ryu, Sang-Hyun Oh, Sin-Doo Lee, and their co-workers have discovered that in a supported lipid bilayer membrane with alternating curvature, raft domains first form in the leaflet with negative curvature and then later appear in the apposing leaflet with positive curvature. This process occurs via inter-leaflet coupling, as confirmed by the spatial distribution of antibody binding to glycolipid receptors. – Journal cover design by scapiens
