Cholesterol Induces Uneven Curvature of Asymmetric Lipid Bilayers
Figure 8
Schematic representation of evenly (a) and unevenly (b) curved bilayer. In (a) the whole bilayer patch is bent with almost the same radius of curvature. In (b) there are regions with very different radii of curvature. In our simulations the system without cholesterol is closer to the case (a) while the addition of cholesterol induces uneven curvature similar to (b).
