Figure 9

Lipid protrusion was assumed to occur when any carbon in the lipid tail protruded more than 0.1 nm beyond the phosphate group. Only the lipids which were within a distance of 0.5 nm from the peptides were included in the calculation. The plots shown correspond to a weighted average over all the microstates (the weight of each microstate was obtained from its free energy). The errors were calculated as described in Fig. 7.
