Comparative analysis of bending moduli in one-component membranes via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations.

The results suggest a possible trend of a decreasing bending modulus with an increasing APL, which could be explained by the idea that a higher APL may reduce the density of lipids in a given area, potentially weakening long-range interactions and lowering the energy required for deformation.

The BW-DCF method shows an increasing trend in the bending modulus as the number of beads increases in all three head types.
