Dimensions of different
bilayer regions in natural membranes and DOPC are rather
similar: they have hydrophobic semithicknesses of 15 and 14.8 Å,
respectively, with semiwidths of the central nonpolar region (z0)
of 9 Å and 8.6, respectively, and widths of the “mid-polar” region
of 6 and 6.2 Å, respectively (Supporting Information Table S4).
The fitting shows that water concentration in outer bacterial
membranes may be higher than in inner membranes (5.33 M in
the “mid-polar” region and 0.55 M in the central region). |
