He then described in both words and diagrams how the lipid bilayer results in a three-layer image. As it turns out, the inner and outer edges of the bilayer have a different composition than the ...

We can consider a model lipid bilayer phase diagram as indicating the various phase regions that could possibly occur—that is, different phase states in different patches of the membrane surface ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.
