+\subsection{Per-Lipid Kinetic Parameters}
+
+Each of the 5 lipid types have different kinetic parameters; to the
+greatest extent possible, we have derived these from literature.

+\subsubsection{$k_f$ for lipid types}
+For PC, $k_f$ was measured by Nichols85 to be $3.7\cdot 10^6
+\frac{1}{\mathrm{M}\cdot \mathrm{s}}$ by the partitioning of
+P-C$_6$-NBD-PC between DOPC vesicles and water. The method utilized by
+Nichols85 has the weakness of using NBD-PC, with associated label
+perturbations. As similar measures do not exist for SM or PS, we
+assume that they have the same $k_f$. For CHOL, Estronca07 found a
+value for $k_f$ of $5.1\cdot 10^7 \frac{1}{\mathrm{M}\cdot
+ \mathrm{s}}$. For PE, Abreu04 found a value for $k_f$ of $2.3\cdot
+10^6$. \fixme{I'm missing the notes on these last two papers, so this
+ isn't correct yet.}
+
+\subsubsection{$k_b$ for lipid types}
+
+$k_b$ for PC was measured by Wimley90 using a radioactive label and
+large unilammelar vesicles at 30\textdegree C. The other values were
+calculated from the experiments of Nichols82 where the ratio of $k_b$
+of different types was measured to that of PC.
+See~\fref{tab:kinetic_parameters_lipid_types}.
+
+assigned accordingly. kb(PS) was assumed to be the same as kb(PG)
+given by Nichols82 (also ratio from kb(PC)). kb(SM) is taken from
+kb(PC) of Wimley90 (radioactive), and then a ratio of kb(PC)/kb(SM)
+taken from Bai97: = 34/2.2 = 15.45; 2.0 x 10-4 x 15.45 = 3.1 x 10-3 s

+\subsubsection{Area for lipid types}
+
+
+From Sampaio05: Besides this work and our own earlier report on the
+association of NBD-DMPE with lipid bilayers (Abreu et al., 2004), we
+are aware of only one other report in the literature (Nichols, 1985)
+in which all the kinetic constants of lipid-derived amphiphile
+association with lipid bilayer membranes were experimentally measured.
+{indeed; everything is k- !!!; rz}
+
+From McLean84LIB: Although it is difficult to measure cmc values for
+the sparingly soluble lipids used in this study, estimates for
+lysopalmitoylphosphatidylcholine( 7 X l0-6 M; Haberland \& Reynolds,
+1975), cholesterol (12.1 X 10-8 M, extrapolated to infinite dilution;
+Haberland \& Reynolds, 1973), and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (4.6
+X l0-10 M; Smith \& Tanford, 1972) are available. A value of 1.1 X
+10-8 M for DMPC was estimated from the linear relationship between ln
+cmc and the number of carbons in the PC acyl chain by using data for n
+= 7, 8, 10, and 16 [summarized in Tanford (1980)].
+
+From Toyota08: Recently, several research groups have reported
+self-reproducing systems of giant vesicles that undergo a series of
+sequential transformations: autonomous growth, self-division, and
+chemical reactions to produce membrane constituents within the giant
+vesicles.44-47
+
+Vesicle sizes of 25 nm for SUV and 150 nm for LUV were mentioned by
+Thomas02.
+
+From Lund-Katz88: Charged and neutral small unilamellar vesicles
+composed of either saturated PC, unsaturated PC, or SM had similar
+size distributions with diameters of 23 \& 2 nm.
+
+From Sampaio05LIB: The exchange of lipids and lipid derivatives
+between lipid bilayer vesicles has been studied for at least the last
+30 years. Most of this work has examined the exchange of amphiphilic
+molecules between a donor and an acceptor population. The measured
+efflux rates were shown in almost all cases, not surprisingly, to be
+first order processes. In all of this work, the insertion rate has
+been assumed to be much faster than the efflux rate. Having measured
+both the insertion and desorption rate constants for amphiphile
+association with membranes, our results show that this assumption is
+valid. In several cases reported in the literature, the insertion rate
+constant was assumed, although never demonstrated, to be a
+diffusion-controlled process.
+
+(for methods? From McLean84LIB: The activation free energies and free
+energies of transfer from self-micelles to water increase by 2.2 and
+2.1 kJ mol-' per methylene group, respectively. {see if we can use it
+ to justify arranging our changed in activating energy around 1
+ kcal/mol; rz}).
+
+Jones90 give diameter of LUV as 100 nm, and of SUV as 20 nm; that
+would give the number of molecules per outer leaflet of a vesicle as
+1500.
+
+Form Simard08: Parallel studies with SUV and LUV revealed that
+although membrane curvature does have a small effect on the absolute
+rates of FA transfer between vesicles, the ΔG of membrane desorption
+is unchanged, suggesting that the physical chemical properties which
+govern FA desorption are dependent on the dissociating molecule rather
+than on membrane curvature. However, disagreements on this fundamental
+issue continue (57, 61, 63, 64)
+
+(methods regarding the curvature effect: Kleinfeld93 showed that the
+transfer parameters of long-chain FFA between the lipid vesicles
+depend on vesicle curvature and composition. Transfer of stearic acid
+is much slower from LUV as compared to SUV).
+
+From McLean84: In a well-defined experimental system consisting of
+unilamellar lipid vesicles, in the absence of protein, the
+rate-limiting step for the overall exchange process is desorption
+(McLean \& Phillips, 1981). {thus I can take exchange data for the
+ estimation of k- rz; 8/11/08}.
+
+\subsubsection{Complex Formation 1}
+
+From Thomas88a: SM decreases the rate of cholesterol transfer, while
+phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) have no
+effect at physiologically significant levels.
