TABLE 1.
Key parameters for the SPAM vesicle simulation
| Parameter | Symbol | Value | 
|---|---|---|
| SPAM cutoff | σ (10−6m) | 1 | 
| Timestep | δt (μs) | 0.0001 | 
| LG parameter | Γ* (μm2/μs) | 2 | 
| CH parameter | M* (μm4/μs) | 20 | 
| Unit of mass | m (10−16 kg) | ρAh/N | 
| Modulus | λ0 (10−3 kg/(ms2) | 5.4 | 
| Bulk modulus parameter | ɛ | 10 to 100 | 
| Membrane thickness | h (μm) | 0.0034 | 
| Relative demixing strength | a* (μm−2) | 0.4 (rough); 0.2 (smooth) | 
| Relative curvature coupling | Λ* | 5 (rough); 8 (smooth) | 
The terms rough and smooth refer to the texture of the two SPAM GUVs examined.
