Abstract
The effect of external electromagnetic field (EMF) on a percolation structure formed during phase separation in the mixed phospholipid membranes was studied by computer simulation. Decay of the percolation structure under electromagnetic radiation was detected. It was shown that oscillation regime can be realized in this system: periodic alternation of formation and decay of the percolation cluster was observed under 10 kHz EMF. The decay of the lipid domain structure in the EMF results from anomalous increase of the permittivity of the continuous fluid lipid phase in the percolation threshold region. It is proposed that detected EMF effect can influence the signal and transport processes associated with percolation properties of biomembranes.
