Using small angle neutron diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations we studied the interactions between calcium (Ca2+) or zinc (Zn2+) cations, and oriented gel phase dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers. For both cations studied at ~1:7 divalent metal ion to lipid molar ratio (Me2+:D...
