FIG. 6.
Decompositon of Membrane free energy contributions. Solid curves represent small membrane system, dash curves represent large membrane system. The dash curve in figure 6A and the dash curve 6B are shifted by 50.0 kcal/mol and −50.0 kcal/mol, respectively, for clarity. No shift was made for the inset figures. (A) membrane choline group contribution; it is defined as (CH3)3NCH2CH2− (B) membrane phosphate and carbonyl group contribution; it is defined as PO4CH2CH(OCOCH2−)2 (C) membrane acyl tails contribution; it is defined as CH3(CH2)12−.
