Categorization of LM lipids by lengths

Categorization Chain length Properties
Ultra/very short chain <16 C Disturb lamellar structure [58]
Short chain 16–20 C About symmetric chain lengths
Long chain 21–32 C Asymmetric chain lengths
Ultra/very long chain >32 C As long as/longer than SPP bilayer

LM, lipid matrix; SPP, short periodicity phase.
