Coupling between membrane undulations and lipid curvature leads to transient local enrichment of cardiolipin in mitochondrial membranes
Christopher T. Lee, Kailash Venkatraman, Itay Budin, Padmini Rangamani
The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to show cardiolipin increases membrane spontaneous curvature and reduces bending rigidity, leading to lateral heterogeneities through curvature sensing.
