Analysis of diffusion in curved surfaces and its application to tubular membranes
The effects of curvature on the diffusion of membrane-associated molecules are poorly understood. Here a generalizable theoretical framework for modeling diffusion on curved surfaces is derived and used to study how geometry modulates diffusion of molecules along tubular membrane surfaces.
