Figure 4
Model parameters of the lipid bilayer that are used for representation of the electron density of the bilayer as a sum of Gaussian functions (left panel). The positive electron density with asymmetric peaks represents the polar heads of the lipids. The central negative peak of the density profile corresponds to the hydrophobic tails. The lamellar repeat distance (d) is shown at the bottom. In the right panel the organization of the SUV and MLV mixture in solution is shown. |
