Figure 5.

Lateral radial distribution function of (A) protonated Lipid-5 on the surface of the bilayer, (B) of neutral Lipid-5’s, and (C) of protonated and neutral Lipid-5. The radial distribution function was estimated along the x–y plane (membrane plane) for all the combinations of protonated and neutral lipids. The legend shows the proportion of ionizable lipids present in each line plot. The error bars show standard error while the line runs through the mean for each lipid composition. Standard error was estimated from the replicates for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% ionizable lipid systems. The y range for the plots are different because the lateral RDF values are varying depending on the different lipid species.
