Using nucleation rates to determine the interfacial line tension of symmetric and asymmetric lipid bilayer domains

Using nucleation rates to determine the interfacial line tension of symmetric and asymmetric lipid bilayer domains

This work presents a novel method for experimentally quantifying interfacial line tension, which can be readily applied to study a wide variety of different lipid mixtures exhibiting phase coexistence. The method combines AFM imaging of lipid domain nucleation with classical nucleation theories. The...
