Influence of Monolayer-Monolayer Coupling on the Phase Behavior of a Fluid Lipid Bilayer

We suggest a minimal model for the coupling of the lateral phase behavior in an asymmetric lipid membrane across its two monolayers. Our model employs one single order parameter for each monolayer leaflet, namely its composition. Regular solution theory on the mean-field level is used to describe th...
