Fig 5. Examples of calculated shapes and respective distributions of constituents in bi-component systems.

In all shapes: k₁ = 30 kT, k₂ = 240 k_B T,R = 250 nm. A-C: The membrane is composed of constituents type 1 that favor isotropic (Fig 2C) mildly curved membrane (dark blue) and constituents type 2 that favor isotropic (Fig 2C) strongly curved membrane (red), h_1,m = 1, h_2,m = 16, d_1,m = d_2,m = 0. Relative proportions of type₂/type₁ constituents are 1 (A), 0.125 (B) and 0.2 (C). D-F: The membrane is composed of type 1 constituents that favor isotropic (Fig 2C) mildly curved membrane and type 2 constitents that favor saddle shaped (Fig 2A) membrane, v = 0.80, h_1,m = 2, h_2,m = 0, d_1,m = 0, d_2,m = 8. Relative proportions of total amount of constituents (type 2/type 1) are 0.02 (D), 0.035 (E) and 0.045 (F). Colors representing local relative proportions of constituents are depicted in the scale. The parameters of the calculated shapes are (A): v = 0.95, <h> = 1.0221, <d> = 0.55052, (B): v = 0.95,<h> = 1.0316, <d> = 0.64436, (C): v = 0.95, <h> = 1.1608, <d> = 0.17617, (D) v = 0.80,<h> = 1.1264, <d> = 1.1012, (E): v = 0.80, <h> = 1.2811, <d> = 0.67685, F: v = 0.80, <h> = 1.2760, <d> = 0.73304.
