Figure 7
Four edge-bound simulations with 60:6:8 POPC:chol:peptide (Set 3, high density). Each system includes eight identical peptides located on two edges of a bilayer slab antiparallel to each other. (a–c) Side views at 500 ns. Side view along the bilayer periodicity is shown in (c). Peptides, colored ribbons; POPC, sticks; phosphorus of POPC, orange balls; cholesterols, black sticks. Schematic top-down view is shown in Fig. 6. (d) Number-density maps of Cα of 9th residue of peptides viewed along the direction of bilayer periodicity. Bilayer is shown schematically in the top panel.
