Diffusion of macromolecules on lipid vesicles.
Diffusion of macromolecules on a surface of lipid vesicles of different reduced volume and geometry is investigated. It is assumed that the macromolecules deform the surface of the vesicles by inducing the spontaneous curvature which is proportional to their concentration. We study how nonuniform distribution of macromolecules is reflected in the shape of the vesicles and how the shape of the vesicles influences the diffusion process.
