Plot of (a) the area expansion modulus, 
, and (b) the bending rigidity, κ, as a function of the acyl chain order measured by M1. Both mechanical moduli exhibit a unique functional dependence on M1 independently of sterol structure and concentration. Numerical values and error are reported in Table 1.
