146a Wednesday, February 24, 2021 the inflection points of buckles, are preferred for formation of such domains. The threshold asymmetry increases with temperature, indicating that the transition to a stiffened regime might be restricted to a limited temperature range above the gel transition temperature of the symmetric membrane. We also see that stiffening happens at smaller asymmetries for lipid types that have more ordered tails if compared at the same temperature. Furthermore, we show that stiffening occurs more readily for larger membranes with smaller typical curvatures, suggesting that the stiffening transition is easier to observe experimentally than in the small-scale systems accessible to simulation.
