Curvature is stabilized in region of high protein density, and curvature instability (vanishing membrane bending rigidity) can develop for high coupling strengths between protein density and membrane curvature.]

Sorting driven by compositional-dependence of the membrane bending rigidity and the spontaneous curvature were examined. In addition, equilibrium shapes of two-dimensional membranes with multiple lipid components were calculated, showing that softer, asymmetrically-shaped lipid colocalized with more highly curved regions.
