26. For further details see [27], but this is analogous to electrostatics in 2D where a potential ø ∼ logr appears only if there is a finite total charge (here force) near the origin.

28. The assumption of lipid order (anchoring) near inclusions is conventional in the membrane protein literature (see, e.g., [13,29]) and is motivated by the large energy cost for aqueous solvent penetration into the hydrophobic interface near the channel face. It is also known that proteins that mismatch the membrane hydrophobic profile (thickness) by as much as 20%-30% [30] can still stably embed into the membrane. Although this strain is different from the bending strains of interest to us, here this indicates that the membrane can support large strains near the channel.
