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.
