Additions and Corrections: Polymer Stretching and Membrane Deformation in Tethers of Partially Polymerized Bilayer (Langmuir (1995) (10)11 (4219–4224) (10.1021/la00023a050))

We considered only the stretched conformation of the polymers in tethers, allowing for but not dealing with the possibility that a polymer forms a spiral on the tether surface. Our recent investigations show that the spiral conformations have in some cases a lower energy than those of the stretched ones, even when the polymer does not affect the elastic modulus of Gaussian curvature. The results of this investigation are in preparation for publication.
