Snapshots of plain MD simulations characteristic to the location of (a) A-ECG dimer, (b) A-EGCG dimer, (c) A-EC dimer, (d) B-EC dimer and a-1, b-1, c-1, d-1 were the enlarged view of A-ECG dimer, A-EGCG dimer, A-EC dimer and B-EC dimer, respectively. The front views were gained by Viewer VMD 1.9.2. The line and ball model (yellow line for POPC and POPE lipids, violet ball for surface P-atoms) was used for membrane and bond model (cyan) for dimers. Water molecules were not represented for the sake of clarity. Each snapshot was chosen to be representative of the average location and orientation of the dimers.
