| Abstract: | In this paper I have studied the transbilayer pore formation in a stretched lipid vesicle. The pore appearance in spherical
bilayers is a process more intricate then in plane lipid bilayers. Here we have studied the influence of the elastic stretching of the
membrane on the pore appearance. A minimum value of the spherical surface extension corresponding to a membrane stretching is
required in order to open transbilayer pore. Also, we have calculated the energetic barrier for a pore opening and closing. The
stability of the liposome with a pore on it was analysed. |
