Abstract
Abstract A theoretical analysis of various types of orientational waves in biological membranes is described. In particular, we consider nonlinear solitary waves (solitions) which may result from local membrane disorder in the presence of an electric field across the cell membrane. The non-dispersive waves could provide an efficient mechanism for the lateral spread of local perturbations in the membrane plane for solute transport across the membrane by modifying the orientation of the lipid molecules.
