Shape transition from elliptical to cylindrical membrane tubes induced by chiral crescent-shaped protein rods

Proteins often form chiral assembly structures on a biomembrane. However, the role of the chirality in the interaction with an achiral membrane is poorly understood. Here, we report how chirality of crescent-shaped protein rods changes their assembly and tubulation using meshless membrane simulation...
