 | | The average area per molecule [left angle bracket]A[right angle bracket] as a function of cholesterol concentration [chi] is portrayed in Fig. |
 | | As mentioned in Equilibration, above, it is evident that [left angle bracket]A[right angle bracket] decreases with the cholesterol content, and that the results agree well with previous simulation studies (Chiu et al., 2002; Hofs et al., 2003). |
 | | At low concentrations, on the other hand, the distribution of the angle between the bilayer normal and the ring structure becomes more broad and flat, i.e., the molecules are more tilted with respect to the bilayer normal. |
