Self-assembly dynamics of the bilayer system and the typical conformation of the bilayer at a dynamic equilibrium state. (a) Black, blue, and orange curves represent the time dependence of the system temperature (T), system total energy (E), and average area (ρ) per DMPC, respectively. (b) Typical locations of DMPC molecules from a top view of the bilayer. Red spheres represent the location of DMPC molecules. The endpoints of the black hexagons express the hexagonal arrangements of molecules around a DMPC molecule, where the hexagons are parallel to each other.
