Membrane viscosity determined from shear-driven flow in giant vesicles

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: . et al. from the DepartmentUniversity of Wilberforce Road, Cambridge , WA, United Kingdom have published the research: Membrane Viscosity Determined from Shear-Driven Flow in Giant Vesicles, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 17/07/2013
• what: This analysis shows that in the limit of large vesicle radius or vanishing membrane viscosity, the velocity attenuation ratio is the constant 7:9.

SUMMARY

As the membrane viscosity m can be expressed as d, where d is the membrane thickness and is the bilayer fluid viscosity, the nanometric scale of d renders m very . . .
