class mythos.observables.area_per_lipid.AreaPerLipid

Observable for calculating area per lipid from a trajectory.

This observable uses the LiPyphilic package to assign leaflets and compute area per lipid, so see its documentation for more details on the lipid_sel arguments: https://lipyphilic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Parameters:

• topology – MDAnalysis Universe topology for the system, should not contain the trajectory data.

• lipid_sel – selection string for lipid tail atoms using MDAnalysis query (e.g. “name GL1 GL2”).

topology: MDAnalysis.Universe

lipid_sel: str
