The talk will discuss different computational techniques – Wang-Landau sampling, field-theoretic umbrella sampling, and the string method – to investigate metastable intermediates (like the stalk in the course of membrane fusion) and transition states of pore formation, membrane fusion and fission. Using coarse-grained models, we explore the universal aspects of topology-altering processes in membranes and comment on the extent, to which coarse-grained model capture specific effects of protein-mediated processes.
