FIGURE 7

Effect of amphipathic α-helix length on steady-state Inline graphic Shown are three marginal distributions P(Inline graphic) of the steady-state Inline graphic under uncertain parameters where both MGS and DGS are curvature sensitive with amphipathic α-helices of different lengths: 19-residue (blue, same as Fig. 5 A), 57-residue (green), and 114-residue (red). Vertical dashed line at Inline graphic indicates the nonbilayer region. (Inset) Probability that the steady state does not form a bilayer against α-helix length, when MGS has an α-helix (×); DGS has an α-helix (+); and MGS and DGS both have α-helices (□). Colored squares correspond to the three plotted P(Inline graphic) in the main figure.
