Increasing lipid acyl chain length increases the desorption barrier and does not substantially influence the insertion barrier. (A) Free energy profiles as a function of the reaction coordinate for Lα phase membranes composed of lipids with different tail chemistries. Corresponding free energy barriers are shown for (B) lipid desorption and (C) lipid insertion. Error bars indicate standard error. To see this figure in color, go online.
