Tensile Forces and Shape Entropy Explain Observed Crista Structure in Mitochondria

We present a model from which the observed morphology of the inner mitochondrial membrane can be inferred as minimizing the system's free energy. In addition to the usual energetic terms for bending, surface area, and pressure difference, our free energy includes terms for tension that we hypot...
