Softening of lipid bilayers

European Biophysics Journal, 1985
The softening of wet lipid bilayer membranes during their gel-to-fluid first-order phase transition is studied by computer simulation of a family of two-dimensional microscopic interaction models. The models include a variable number, q, of lipid chain conformational states, where 2 less than or equal to q less than or equal to 10.

Texture of Lipid Bilayer Domains

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
We investigate the texture of gel (g) domains in binary lipid membranes composed of the phospholipids DPPC and DOPC. Lateral organization of lipid bilayer membranes is a topic of fundamental and biological importance. Whereas questions related to size and composition of fluid membrane domain are well studied, the possibility of texture in gel domains ...

Water and Lipid Bilayers

2015
Water is crucial to the structure and function of biological membranes. In fact, the membrane's basic structural unit, i.e. the lipid bilayer, is self-assembled and stabilized by the so-called hydrophobic effect, whereby lipid molecules unable to hydrogen bond with water aggregate in order to prevent their hydrophobic portions from being exposed to ...

Multiscale modeling of lipids and lipid bilayers

European Biophysics Journal, 2005
A multiscale modeling approach is applied for simulations of lipids and lipid assemblies on mesoscale. First, molecular dynamics simulation of initially disordered system of lipid molecules in water within all-atomic model was carried out. On the next stage, structural data obtained from the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used to build a ...

Paclitaxel Partitioning into Lipid Bilayers

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1996
Paclitaxel (taxol) is diterpenoid anticancer drug with a new mechanism of cytostatic action. It is under investigation in clinical trials for treatment of various types of human cancer. A major difficulty in developing paclitaxel as a chemotherapeutic agent in its poor water solubility.
