Nonequilibrium Raftlike Membrane Domains under Continuous Recycling

Nonequilibrium Raftlike Membrane Domains under Continuous Recycling

We present a model for the kinetics of spontaneous membrane domain (raft) assembly that includes the effect of membrane recycling ubiquitous in living cells. We show that domains can have a broad power-law distribution with an average radius that scales with the 1/4 power of the domain lifetime when the …
