| Comments |
Whereas the net lateral pressure or tension of a membrane is zero in its equilibrium state ( ref 4), the individual component contributions can reach local pressures of several hundred atmospheres or more (refs 5,6). For instance, the equivalence surface pressure between lipid monolayers and bilayers is in the region of 35 mN m-1 |
