Figure 4

(a) Total number of HBs per DGDG lipid as a function of the membrane separation. The dashed line indicates an exponential fit with decay length λ=0.12 nm. Inset: ll, lw and ww HBs. In the plot, ww refers to the excess HB number with respect to bulk water, Inline graphicInline graphic, see main text. Dashed lines indicate exponential fits with the same decay length λ=0.26±0.01 nm for all three curves. (b) The total number of HBs versus the interaction free energy for DGDG. Dashed line: Linear regression through all data points. (c) The same plot for PC lipids. Shaded region: High hydration limit where Inline graphic≈0. The error bars in all three panels represent 1 s.d. of uncertainty.
