Fig. 2

Electrically-induced surface charge distribution on the a medium/membrane interface (ρs01) and b membrane/cytoplasm interface (ρs12). Membrane thickness is exaggerated to show the inner and outer membrane interfaces. The plot demonstrates the geometrical pattern of the induced surface charge distribution in the DC electric field. The orientation of the shell structure to the field is the same as that shown in Fig. 1. The color represents the amount of the charge density (C/m2) calculated with σ0 = 0.3 S/m and σ2 = 1.2 S/m and E = 200,000 V/m
