membrane elasticity

[Leopoldo Silvestroni]

dear Colleagues !

I'm trying to correlate flagellar beating/bending with the membrane
cholesterol to phospholipid ratio. In my lab we evaluate flagellar
membrane molecular order/dynamics and motion by using TMADPH, Laurdan
and Prodan spectroscopy and image analysis of videotapes, respectively.
I need your help to have available equations suitable to describe and
characterize membrane elasticity.

thank you all!
