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...
