Fig. 2.

Example of the simulation results: snapshots of equilibrated structures of a multicomponent bilayer (model M3 in Ref. [3]) where SM24 molecules are shown as yellow sticks with the last eight carbon atoms depicted as red balls. The figure illustrates interdigitation of long SM24 tails into the opposite leaflet of the bilayer. Lipids in the outer leaflet are shown as transparent blue glass, while lipids in the inner leaflet are described as transparent gray glass. For clarity, the system is surrounded by its periodic image on the left and right sides (SM24 molecules are highlighted only in the central image).
