(A) Helical wheel of an Alm monomer obtained from its crystal structure. The dashed line separates the smaller hydrophilic (blue color online) and the larger hydrophobic (red online) faces. (B) The same hexagonally packed cluster in Fig. 12 with hydrophilic strips (blue online) facing each other around the cavities marked by H and with hydrophobic portions (red online) facing other hydrophobic portions or facing the lipid. The motif composed of the three circles numbered with 1, 2, and 3 is the building block for clusters of any size.
