Abstract
⺠We examine the energetics of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations. ⺠We evaluate continuum elastic models using molecular dynamics simulations. ⺠Our results indicate that the first lipid shell around at least some membrane proteins has properties that differ from those of the bulk lipids.
