Abstract
We present a mechanism for the aggregation of mobile intermembrane junctions, such as the connexon dyad of gap junctions. The model demonstrates that intermembrane repulsion provides a powerful self-assembly pressure. If the membrane repulsion is strong enough to prevent membrane adhesion, then the self-assembly pressure is of effective infinite range.Mesh:
