Combined effects of headgroup charge and tail unsaturation of lipids on lateral organization and diffusion of lipids in model biomembranes |
(color online) Left: the final structures of the 10-μs simulations of the lipid bilayers composed of (a) DPPE/DIPE/CHOL, (b) DPPS/DIPS/CHOL, (c) DPPE/DIPS/CHOL, and (d) DPPS/DIPE/CHOL. Here, the saturated lipid, the unsaturated lipid, and cholesterol are shown in red, green, and white, respectively. Right: the time evolutions of the number of saturated lipids in the biggest Lo domain ( |
