Abstract
A model of bilayer lipid membrane with bola-lipids is studied. The bola-lipid is modeled by linking tails of the hydrophobic chains in the opposite monolayers within bilayer. We use for analytical derivations a flexible string model of hydrocarbon chain (Mukhin, Baoukina 2005) with modified condition at the linked chains ends. Calculated lateral pressure profiles are asymmetrical due to different concentrations of the U-shaped bolalipids in the opposite monolayers, Fig. 1, and orientational order parameters for linked and regular chains differ significantly at the monolayers interface, Fig. 2.View Large Image | View Hi-Res Image | Download PowerPoint SlideView Large Image | View Hi-Res Image | Download PowerPoint Slide
