FIGURE 13

Gaussian bending modulus, Inline graphic of a bilayer membrane as a function of ionic strength. The value of Inline graphic strongly depends on the charge on the headgroup. The less charge on the headgroup, the closer the membrane is to Inline graphic . The charges on the lipids' headgroup were −1 (•), or Inline graphic (○), or the headgroup was zwitterionic (▴) or not charged (▵).
