Relating domain size distribution to line tension and molecular dipole density in model cytoplasmic myelin lipid monolayers

We fit the size distribution of liquid-ordered (Lo) domains measured from fluorescence images of model cytoplasmic myelin monolayers with an equilibrium thermodynamic expression that includes the competing effects of line tension, λ, dipole density difference, Δm, and the mixing entropy. From these...
