Figure 4. Stalk evolution in response of removing the pore (top view on porated bilayer).

Figure 4

(I,II,III) Sudden removal of the pore before completion of the Inline graphic-HD reverses the stalk elongation process, and the stalk completely disappears (DOPC at 310 K, with Inline graphic water molecules per lipid between the membranes). Hydrophobic lipid tails are colored grey, polar-headgroups (DOPC) tan.
