Differently colored dyes were used as reporters for registration of ordered and disordered lipids from both leaflets of a freestanding bilayer.
Here we used differently colored dyes as reporters for the registration of both ordered and disordered lipids from the two leaves of a freestanding bilayer.
Domain mobility measurements indicated ordered domains of about 120 nm width and disordered domains of about 40 nm width.
Measurements of domain mobility indicated the presence of 120 nm wide ordered and 40 nm wide disordered domains.

The inferred domain sizes are consistent with predicted roles of line tension and membrane undulation as driving forces for alignment.
These sizes are in line with the predicted roles of line tension and membrane undulation as driving forces for alignment.
