Primary source abstract: "In this work, [investigators] employ extensive atom-scale simulations to elucidate the properties of ternary raft mixtures with CHOL [cholesterol], palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM), and palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine." |
| Comments |
P.38 left column 5th paragraph: " It can be calculated that a lipid bilayer with a diameter of 70 nm contains approximately 60,000 lipid molecules, based on the assumption that each lipid molecule in average occupies 0.4–0.5 nm^2 of the surface area [primary source]." |
