 abstract = {The stability of a flexible fluid membrane containing a distribution of
mobile, active proteins (e.g.. proton pumps) is shown to depend on the
structure and functional asymmetry of the proteins. A stable active
membrane is in a nonequilibrium steady state with height fluctuations
whose statistical properties are governed by the protein activity.
Disturbances are predicted to Gravel as waves at sufficiently long
wavelength, with speed set by the normal velocity of the pumps. The
unstable case involves a spontaneous, pump-driven undulation of the
membrane, with clumping of the proteins in regions of high activity.},
