Phase Behaviour and Dynamics in Lipid Mixtures — •Peter Olmsted — School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK

Lipid bilayer membranes are uquitous in biology, and perform a variety of functions, including protection, regulation of chemical gradients, transport, and catalyis. It is apparent that the lipid composition plays an important role in these functions. In this talk I will speak about recent advances (embracing theory, simulation, and experiment) in our group in studying the phase behaviour and mechanics of lipid bilayer membranes of different compositions.
