Lipid/water interface of galactolipid bilayers in different lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
In this study, carried out using computational methods, the organisation of the lipid/water interface of bilayers composed of galactolipids with both α-linolenoyl acyl chains is analysed and compared in three different lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases.

Coarse-grained simulation of transmembrane peptides in the gel phase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulations, combined with parallel tempering and umbrella sampling, to investigate the potential of mean force between model transmembrane peptides in the various phases of a lipid bilayer, including the low ...

Electrostatics of lipid bilayer bending

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1997
The electrostatic contribution to spontaneous membrane curvature is calculated within Poisson-Boltzmann theory under a variety of assumptions and emphasizing parameters in the physiological range. Asymmetric surface charges, either fixed with respect to bilayer midplane area, or with respect to the lipid-water area both induce curvature but of opposite

Functional tethered lipid bilayers

open access: yesReviews in Molecular Biotechnology, 2000
Our strategy to provide the structural basis for the build-up of functional tethered membranes focuses on three approaches: the first one is based on the pre-organization of a monomolecular layer of a lipopolymer at the water/air interface which is then transferred to a solid support.

Insight from Molecular dynamic simulation of reactive oxygen species in oxidized skin membrane

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation of the skin-lipid bilayer causes perturbations that affect the biomembrane structure, function, and permeability of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Membrane docking geometry of GRP1 PH domain bound to a target lipid bilayer: an EPR site-directed spin-labeling and relaxation study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The second messenger lipid PIP(3) (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate) is generated by the lipid kinase PI3K (phosphoinositide-3-kinase) in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it regulates a broad array of cell processes by recruiting ...

The ELBA force field for coarse-grain modeling of lipid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A new coarse-grain model for molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membranes is presented. Following a simple and conventional approach, lipid molecules are modeled by spherical sites, each representing a group of several atoms.
