Annotation

Phase and component segregation in lipid membranes was studied by means of mathematical modeling. The time dependence of phase segregation on the lateral diffusion coefficient was calculated. The phase and component segregations were also simulated by multiparticle Monte-Carlo methods, and the phase diagrams of the system were obtained.
