In article number 1801290 Yong‐Sang Ryu, Sang‐Hyun Oh, Sin‐Doo Lee, and co‐workers highlight that in a supported lipid bilayer membrane with alternating curvature the raft domains are initiated first in the leaflet with negative curvature and then appear later in the apposing leaflet which possesses positive curvature via inter‐leaflet coupling between the leaflets. This is confirmed by the spatial distribution of antibody binding to glycolipid receptors.
