Abstract
How do motor proteins and other biological nanomachines form aggregates in cell membranes and show coordinated activity, essential for so many living processes ? Membrane Fluid mechanics provides a natural explanation. In this work, we show how force dipole motors induce special flows in a spherical fluid membrane and form aggregates on the sphere due to their mutual hydrodynamic interactions. Bulk confinement and membrane curvature effects compete with each other and display novel regimes of coordinated motion.
