摘要：

We consider the effect of tethered macromolecules on the stability of the flat conformation of a lipid bilayer in a dense brush regime when anchored chains are significantly overlapped. On the basis of a scaling approach we have shown that redistribution of polymer chains from inner to outer layers reduces the free energy of the system and stabilizes spherically bent configurations of the membrane.
