Fig. 8.

(Left) Variation of the maximum thickening of the lipid membrane as a function of the intrinsic uptake coefficient k_b and of the chemo-mechanical work coefficient ω_ξ. The red spot indicates the couple $\{{\overline{k}}_b,{\overline{\omega }}_{\xi }\}$ used in the simulation. (Right) Evolution of the membrane stretch for different values of coefficients k_b and ω_ξ. The red curve highlights the one obtained for the adopted parameters.
