Two-Dimensional Ordering of Bacteriorhodopsins in a Lipid Bilayer and Effects Caused by Repulsive Core between Lipid Molecules on Lateral Depletion Interaction: A Study based on a Thermodynamic Perturbation Theory

Using binary hard disk mixture models, we studied the two-dimensional ordering of bacteriorhodopsins in a lipid bilayer. The phase diagrams were calculated using the thermodynamic…
