Research Topic

The research topic of my thesis work is "Curvature Sorting of Proteins on a Cylindrical Lipid Membrane". Peripheral membrane protein can sense or generate the curvature to the lipid membrane. Most of the biological processes depend on membrane curvature sensing and generation (MC-S &G) of the protein binding. A theoretical study is being done to understand the mechanism of MC-S&G by using a model system consisting of a tether pulled from a giant unilammellar vesicle (GUV) using mechanical-thermodynamic models.
