Dynamics of LUV bending fluctuations measured by NSE and determination of bending rigidity. NSE data of (a) native and (b) EAE modified liposomes at 50\(\,^\circ\)C. The solid lines of the respective color show the respective fit with Zilman-Granek + center of mass diffusion model for each q-value. In (c) the fit parameter \(\Gamma /q^3\) is plotted against q and fitted with a constant for each temperature and composition. The fit is indicated as a solid line in the respective color and its standard error by the thickness of the slightly transparent enveloping lines. In (d) the bending rigidity \(\kappa\) calculated of the \(\Gamma /q^3\) fit values is plotted over the temperature for native and EAE modified lipid composition.
