title: Lipid bilayer structure.
abstract: Fluctuations, inherent in flexible and biologically relevant lipid bilayers, make quantitative structure determination challenging. Shortcomings in older methods of structure determination have been realized and new methodologies have been introduced that take fluctuations into account. The large uncertainty in literature values of lipid bilayer structural parameters is being reduced.
