Cholesterol-Dependent Bending Energy Is Important in Cholesterol Distribution of the Plasma Membrane

We consider the plasma membrane that contains a cholesterol molar fraction of 0.4 and ask how that cholesterol is distributed between the two leaves. Because of the rapid flip-flop of cholesterol between leaves, we assume that its distribution is determined by the equality of its chemical potentials...
