Experimental values obtained from McIntosh and Simon (9) are given in parentheses. The standard errors in AL are <0.5 Å2, and those in thicknesses are <0.25 Å from five independent runs. AL, average area per lipid; DL, diffusion coefficient; dH, membrane hydrophobic thickness; dPP, phosphate peak-to-peak distance; dSS, oligosaccharide peak-to-peak distance.
