Fig. 1 — (a) The sketch of two bilayers in a multilamellar vesicle (MLV) identifies the primary lamellar repeat spacing D, the area A per molecule, the hydrophobic thickness 2D_C the Luzzati thickness D_B, the water thickness D_W, the steric thickness $D_{B}^{'}$ , and the steric water thickness $D_{W}^{'}$ . (b) Prominent literature values for A for DPPC in the L_α phase (black) compared to the gel phase (grey).
