Figure 2

Effective interaction between two infinitely rigid lipid domains (represented by orange particles) embedded within opposing leaflets of a bilayer. In the case of incomplete domain overlap, membrane undulations are suppressed above and below the domains. When the domains achieve complete co-localization, membrane undulations are enabled within the dashed box, resulting in a decrease in free energy (22). To see this figure in color, go online.
