Minimal lattice model of lipid membranes with liquid-ordered domains

Mixtures of lipids and cholesterol are commonly used as model systems for studying the formation of liquid-ordered (L_{o}) domains in heterogeneous biological membranes. The simplest model system exhibiting coexistence between L_{o} domains and a liquid-disordered (L_{d}) matrix is that of a binary...
