Nanodomain formation in lipid bilayers II: The influence of mixed-chain saturated lipids

Deeksha Mehta, Emily H. Chaisson, Averi M. Cooper, Maryam Ahmed, M. Neal Waxham, Frederick A. Heberle

This study investigates how chain length mismatch and acyl chain position affect lateral organization in high-melting lipids, showing strong correlations between phase behavior and saturated lipid melting temperature.
