Abstract
A simple theory is developed that explains the formation of bilayers and vesicles and accounts quantitatively for many of their physical properties: Properties including vesicle size distributions and bilayer elasticity emerge from a unified theory that links thermodynamics, interaction free energy, and molecular geometry. The theory may be applied to the analysis of more complicated membrane structures and mechanisms.Entities:
