Simulations of membrane bilayer perturbation with DMSO and Ethanol. (A)
Presented are side views of the final structures for the bilayer systems
containing 0, 5, 10, and 40 mol% of DMSO. Lipids are shown in cyan, water in
red, and DMSO in yellow. Taken from reference 13231323. (B) Formation of non-bilayer
structures within the membrane interior with 15 mol% of ethanol: (1) 3100 ps;
(2) 13,180 ps; (3) 19,920 ps; (4) 30,000 ps. Shown are water molecules (red and
white) and phosphorus (green) and nitrogen (blue) atoms of lipid head groups.
The rest of the lipid atoms as well as ethanol molecules are not shown. Taken
from reference 13251325.
