The authors introduce a coarse-grained (CG) model for a lipid membrane comprised of phospholipids and cholesterol at different molar concentrations, which allows them to study systems that are approximately 100 nm in linear ...

We report evidence of dense, ordered nanodomains in single-component fluid lipid bilayers. Our atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the area available to a lipid acyl chain exhibits large fluctuations, ...
