  • 0.025 Å−2 and the rolling sphere radius to 3 Å [32]. The van der Waals radii rH = 1 Å, rC = 1.85 Å, rO = 1.5 Å, and rSi = 2.1 Å were used [62]. A density of points equal to 5 Å−2 was assumed for the molecular surface. Schematic structure of a right-handed chiral nematic (cholesteric) phase. Black arrows

  • organized in small domains, known as rafts, stabilized by hydrogen bonds among the polar head groups and van der Waals interactions of the hydrophobic chains. The presence of lipid domains is thought to be involved in receptor-mediated signal transduction. Due to its ability to form large hydrogen bonded
