Figure 3
Simulated SAXS curves from coexisting DOPC fluid phase–DPPC gel phase. CDPPC = 3 mM and the lattice distortion factor ga = 0.3. a corresponds to the centre-to-centre distance between the DOPC lipid domains dispersed in the DPPC host bilayer. R1 corresponds to the radius of a cylindrical island representing a domain (Fig. S2). The surface density of domains, according to equation (23), ranges from 0.51 Å−2 to 1.8 × 10−8 Å−2. |
