  1. Ld, liquid-disordered phase; Lo, liquid-ordered phase; Lβ, gel phase. Values are averaged over n repeat measurements across 24 image areas from 11 separate repeat experiments. Uncertainties are ±1 standard deviation of n repeats. Calculated values were calculated as follows, Lo = Ld + (Ld-Lo), Lβ = Ld + (Ld-Lβ). Uncertainties were propagated as follows, c = a + b, Δc = √(Δa2 + Δb2). The membranes are formed from yeast polar lipid extracts comprising lipids of complex composition and a wide range of tail lengths (details shown in Supplementary Tables S1 and S2).
