39. Although the term inclusion species is quite general at this point, we have in mind the more specific situation (that is also used later in the text) where inclusion species i = 2 denotes lipid molecules and species i = 1 are the actual inclusions embedded in the lipid monolayer.
40. The lateral redistribution of membrane constituents can also affect the shape of the membrane. Yet, this degree of freedom can be taken into account in a later step where one allows for the variation of the membrane shape (with equilibrated inclusion distribution).

43. 1, one obtains the effective elastic moduli directly by comparing the expression for the free energy with the familiar Helfrich bending energy. The case of fixed chemical potential of the inclusions yields the same result for the effective elastic moduli.
44. Here the expression (curved) lipid layer is used for a region of the lipid layer with given curvature (in contrast to a planar bulk membrane that serves as a reservoir of inclusions).

52. Here, the physical basis for the nonhomogeneous lateral distribution of the membrane inclusions in the membrane is the tendency of the membrane to reach the equilibrium state, thereby minimizing the overall free energy. However, in living cells another mechanism is common: anisotropic inclusions are actively translocated to specific locations on the membrane where they can affect the preferred shape of the membrane.

54. In our calculations the free energies of outer and inner monolayers are calculated separately. In other words, except for the constraint that both monolayers are in close contact, no other interactions between the leaflets are considered. For simplicity, also the area difference between the outer and the inner monolayer is not taken into account. Calculations including the area difference between the two leaflets have been performed, yielding no significant difference in the results.
