Schematic model of the geometry of densely packed LUVs. (A) Hexagonal dense packing of hard-sphere LUVs with a 200 nm diameter is shown. (B) Enlargement of the boxed area from (A) is provided. Dimensions of the bilayer (5 nm) and associated hydration water (2.5 nm) are indicated. The bar graph indicates the volumetric breakdown of water inside the LUVs (INT), between vesicles (EXT), hydration water layers (HYD), and the lipids themselves (LIP). To see this figure in color, go online.
