Figure 7.
Monolayer simulations of lipid-saponin systems. Each panel is a 200 × 200 grid where each pixel is a molecule. These are obtained by a Monte Carlo minimization for different molecular systems of DMPC, Cholesterol, Δ7-sterol, Frondoside A, α-Hederin and Hederagenin. The molar ratios have been selected to be the same as systems published in28. Cholesterol is represented in yellow, DMPC in teal, Frondoside A in red, Δ7-sterol in green, α-Hederin in purple, and Hederagenin in orange.
