Curvature characterization in buckled bilayers; all data are shown for the IM−1 system at γ = 0.3. (A) Probability distributions of curvatures. Each distribution is normalized by the amount of each lipid type, such that the sum of probabilities for all curves equals one. (B) Lipid fractions as a function of curvature for the same system shown in panel A; the dashed line represents the bulk fraction of PC and PE (40%), and the dotted line represents the bulk fraction of CL−1 (20%). (C) Clustering analysis for CL−1. The system was subdivided based upon curvature, and the bulk fraction of CL−1 is compared with the percentage of CL nearest neighbors around each CL molecule. The solid line represents the well-mixed case (no clustering), where the local concentration matches the bulk concentration.
