Distributing Aminophospholipids Asymmetrically Across Leaflets Causes Anomalous Membrane Stiffening

M. P. Frewein, P. Piller, E. F. Semeraro, O. Czakkel, Y. Gerelli, L. Porcar, G. Pabst

The paper investigates how asymmetric distribution of aminophospholipids affects membrane stiffness using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy and finds that certain lipid compositions lead to increased bending rigidity.
