Stability and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Mixed Saturated Lipid Bilayers

The phase stability of a fluid lipid bilayer composed of a mixture of DC18PC, (DSPC), and a shorter DCns PC, with ns from 8 to 17, has been studied using a self-consistent field theory that explicitly includes molecular details and configurational properties of the lipid molecules. Phase separation...
