Table 2. Lipid headgroup areas for DPPC and POPC bilayers in Å2.
Water model | DPPC | POPC |
---|---|---|
mTIP3P | 61.1 ± 0.9 | 64.6 ± 1.0 |
TIP3P-FB | 60.3 ± 0.9 | 64.0 ± 0.9 |
TIP4P-FB | 61.5 ± 1.2 | 65.2 ± 1.1 |
Expt. | 63.1 ± 1.3 | 64.3 ± 1.3 |
Note:
Experimental values are taken from Kučerka, Nieh & Katsaras (2011). The uncertainties of the calculated values are calculated from the standard deviation of the results from three independent simulations of the bilayer.
