Cholesterol Induces Uneven Curvature of Asymmetric Lipid Bilayers

Figure 4

Visualization of the bilayer midline and the curvature at μs in the simulation with cholesterol. The phosphate coarse grained particles of both monolayers are shown as small spheres. The membrane midline is shown as a solid black line. The radii of the gray spheres drawn on the midline are proportional to the absolute value of the membrane curvature in the given point. Vertical lines show the size of the periodic simulation box in dimension.
