FIGURE 1
Diffusion coefficients (DL) in DMPC (A), and DMPC/Chol 70:30 (B), 60:40 (C), and 50:50 (D) measured by FRAP. The lines are fits of the equations derived from free area theory (Eq. 1) to the data. Reprinted with permission from Almeida et al. (1992). Copyright 1992 American Chemical Society.
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 2
Diffusion coefficients (DL) in DMPC (○) and DMPC/Chol 50:50 (•). The values of DL for the equimolar mixture were shifted by −16°C. The curve is the same as in Fig. 1 D, but also shifted by −16°C and extrapolated to higher temperatures. Reprinted with permission from Almeida et al. (1992).
