Figure 1.

Influence of the estimated bilayer center, Z_CEN, on the lateral pressure profiles. The pressure profiles were calculated for the pure DMPC bilayers with N_T = 80 at various mismatches between N_T and N_B: 0% (black), 5% (red), 10% (green), 15% (blue), 20% (magenta), and 25% (cyan). The left panels show the pressure profiles calculated using the Z_CEN based on (A) the bilayer geometric center of mass, Z_MCOM, and (B) the peak position, Z_NMAX, of the number of lipid profile. The dashed boxes are enlarged in the right panels.
