We develop a theory of a resonant effect in protein-membrane coupling taking place in the vicinity of instabilities in tubular lipid membranes (TLMs) under longitudinal force and pressure difference constraints. Two critical low-energy modes defining the stability domain boundaries are found. We sho...
